We’re proud to welcome you to the first ever Barnet Pride Bingo fundraiser for ‘inkluder’!
The past year has come with life-shifting experiences for many, and for those of us that have a connection to this beautiful London Borough we have all had some time to reflect on what’s important to us, and for the 3 drag queens hosting this show, that’s the neighbourhood we grew up in, know and love: Barnet!
Join Husbands Orange Gina & Ariel Bold with their drag child Magik (with a k) and get ready to feel the love as we call bingo balls based around everything you love about the borough (with the opportunity for businesses to sponsor a bingo ball!) AND we are on the look out for up and coming local drag stars! Maybe we'll get a chance to meet Tally Ho, Tod Ridge, Colin Dale, Guy Barnet, Haley Would, Milly Hill or even George Colney!
Tell everyone you know because Barnet has never seen an event like this!
Barnet has an above-average ratio of young people with 24% of residents under the age of 16 but the average age of residents is higher than most other boroughs. The LGBTQIA+ community spans every generation and as queer people who have lived in the area our whole lives, we have consulted with the local MPs and community organisations to establish a real need for more engagement programs for those that identify as LGBTQIA+…
The most recent ‘Progressive Pride’ Flag …So…
In March this year we founded Inkluder CIC; a community company that will create a network of people and events to help bring us closer together as we move forward into a new, more inclusive era post-pandemic.
To those who are trans, non-binary, or gender non-conforming, we understand the lack of support out there and would like to express our message of love for you as we know it can be scary without the opportunity to ask for advice and support from someone that understands your lived experience, so our first mission is to create a space in the Borough that can act as a hub for the queer community and their loved ones. At first, this may be a room in a library but over time we will establish a permanent space.
Over the pandemic, our small team has designed a drag bingo show that has now been enjoyed by thousands of guests around the world on zoom so we thought it was only right to dedicate an entire show to Barnet! This is the start of a big adventure for the Borough on its journey to becoming the most inclusive London district, and in 2022 we plan on running Barnet’s first mini pride event, but we need your support! The money raised from the show will go towards funding the initial space we will use for a regular networking event that can be experienced in person or online. Furthermore, we would like to establish a permanent recreational/workspace for queer people and our allies.
We are excited about the future and look forward to meeting you soon! Please share the event with your friends and family. Let’s put Barnet back on the map as the glorious place it is, whether you live here, work here or just love a trip to the spires!
