In November 2025, we organised a fundraiser to raise £3,000 for our annual community Christmas Eve dinner and winter running costs at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre.
We passed our target, raising £3,390.42!
A big thank you to everyone who supported – whether you donated or shared the fundraiser with your chosen fam. It means the world to us to receive your continued support.
A special shout-out to:
- Lalale Foods and Events for their delicious menu, which included oxtail, jerk chicken and patties (and for bringing a bunch of tupperware for folks to take meals home!)
- Shannon for joining us for the second year with mouthwatering desserts
- Good Boi Candles for gifting a selection of their cheeky candles for another year. (We have an exclusive discount – sign up for our newsletter if you missed buying your candles at the dinner and Winter Market)
- NKD for donating and gift wrapping presents for folks joining the dinner
Swipe below to see all the tasty food and cute presents we had for guests at this year’s dinner. If you joined us, we hope you had a comforting time filled with queer joy.
If you didn’t have a chance to donate to the fundraiser, we’re still accepting donations with any extra money raised going towards other Centre work. You can donate here.
