City for LGBT+ 2024: Resisting the Rollback of Rights

Wednesday 16 October

This live crowdfunding event brings together our community and corporate allies for a fun, impactful evening of speakers, networking, and a hosted reception. After hearing from inspiring LGBTQI activists about the work they are doing to protect their communities, guests are invited to pledge donations in an auction-style session and make a lasting difference to the lives of LGBTQI people in the UK and around the world. In just five years, City for LGBT+ has raised over £300,000.
