Company activities and impact

In the last year Black Queer women have delivered Celebratory & Inclusive Community Events During the year, the organisation ran events under themes such as Queer Joy: Black & Bold : a community celebration of Black queer women in London that received funding from The National Lottery Community Fund. Community benefits included: Creating a safe, affirming space for Black queer women and allies to gather, celebrate identity, culture, and joy. Increasing visibility and recognition of Black queer women’s experiences in public spaces. Built Stronger Social Connections & Support Networks Black Queer Women CIC’s activities centred on connecting people who share intersecting marginalised identities ; a core part of its purpose is to create accessible spaces for Black queer women to meet, build relationships, and feel a sense of belonging. Impact on the community included: Reducing social isolation by bringing individuals together through in-person and collaborative events. Supporting cross-community connection, which helps mental wellbeing and empowerment. Amplified Voices & Educated on Key Issues BQW also hosted open discussions and educational sessions on topics that matter to the community, such as mental and sexual health, culture, relationships, and rights. Benefits: Provided participants with knowledge and tools to make informed choices about their health, wellbeing, and relationships. Built community capacity to engage in conversations about policy and civil liberties affecting LGBTQIA and Black queer people. Funded Participation Through Community Grants Receiving grant funding ,such as the award from The National Lottery Community Fund ,helped make specific events possible. Community outcomes included: Enabling free or low-cost participation so that people from various economic backgrounds could attend. Supporting culturally relevant activities that might not otherwise have been viable without CIC-focused funding. Overall Community Benefits Together, these activities, celebration, connection, knowledge-sharing, and grant-driven projects, helped the CIC to: Enhance sense of belonging and community cohesion for Black queer women and allies. Promote visibility and representation of a group often marginalised in mainstream LGBTQ+ and racial justice spaces. Build networks that support wellbeing, empowerment, and mutual aid. Ensure activities remained accessible and affordable, breaking down economic barriers to community engagement.

Consultation with stakeholders

Black Queer Women CIC held a stakeholder meeting to review its activities over the financial year and gather feedback from the community. The Director shared that the CIC delivered several community events, including wellbeing workshops and social gatherings, with strong attendance and positive feedback. Most participants said they felt more connected and supported after attending. Funding received during the year helped ensure events were free and accessible, covering venue costs, refreshments, and support needs so that financial barriers did not prevent participation. During the discussion, community members said they valued having a safe space specifically for Black queer women and requested more frequent events, particularly sessions focused on mental health and peer support. Stakeholders also discussed challenges such as limited volunteer capacity and agreed to strengthen partnerships and apply for additional funding. The meeting concluded with clear action points, including conducting a community survey and expanding programming, ensuring that future activities continue to reflect the needs and priorities of the community.
