The company provides social activities to reduce isolation and support LGBTQ+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, Queer+) people from marginalised Black/PoC (People of Colour communities) by celebrating LGBTQ+ identities and South Asian heritage. We work across the UK, with a London base and our activities welcome all LGBTQ+ people. During the financial year 01/11/2022 to 31/10/2023 we focused on diversifying the events and spaces we create for our members due to the changing demands following life after lockdown. Core parts of our work continued; building partnerships and collaborations, and involving members in the design and delivery of our activities. We increased our wellbeing activities with online programmes such as meditation sessions and social events. We have expanded our work with new partnerships including supporting other organisations and inclusion of LGBTQ+ People of Colour. Our partnership group, Pink Hub was strengthened by and took on a specific project; exploring partnership working with regard to specific projects. We strengthened our infrastructure and improved our longer term sustainability with support from LGBTQ Consortium’s Equity Fund. We completed a documentary “Discovering Kali – 25years of the Legendary Club” supported by National Lottery Awards for All. We are grateful to the funders whose support has enabled us to thrive particularly during this time of change. These include The London Community Foundation, National Lottery Awards for All and GLA – Civil Society Roots Incubator Programme and GLA - Culture & Creative Industries.
Our Stakeholders are members who identify as LGBTQ+ and use our services or engage in our activities. The representation of intersectionality includes Trans Non Binary & Older people as the age range of our members is 18-80years.Organisations including charities and businesses with whom we collaborate ongoingly to better serve our communities, members and support activities. Our event team includes Freelance, Sessionals and Volunteers who gather feedback in person at our activities and events. We also have feedback from attendees online including the use of anonymous polls. Members feedback includes information on their support needs, eg, isolation, mental health, along with services they would like to us to provide. This information is used to plan our programme of events. Overall the biggest need remains to be that of maintaining a safe or exclusive LGBTQ space. This is followed closely by a need to meet and connect with other LGBTQ people who have shared heritage in order to reduce isolation and increase a sense of belonging and acceptance. We have a working Advisory Management Group of six, LGBTQ individuals who work closely with the Directors to inform and shape future business plans.
