The Hangout CIC run regular fundraising events aimed at the adult LGBTQIA+ community of Leeds. Our past events include Wharfback Mountain, a cowboy themed night of drag performances and live music, and Queer Renfaire, a renaissance fair themed event of market stalls. The purpose of these events is to raise funds for our LGBTQIA+ youth groups, and support the vital work we do with our young people.
We believe it is vital to provide these young people with a safe place to explore their identity, get creative, and just be able to socialise with their peers.
We run activities with the groups, including workshops on a range of subjects including Mental Health, Makeup Skills and Music. We also work on creative projects, such as zine making.
