We're hopeful that we'll have some positive news for you soon.

We know how disappointing this is for all of our visitors, volunteers and supporters, but we just want to let you know that we as a team are doing everything we can to ensure the future of Queer Unity Hub.

Our team of volunteers remain committed to the QUH project, because we know how much it is needed, and how big of a difference it has already made to people’s lives in less than two months. We will continue to be transparent with you throughout this process.

p.s. There are still tickets available for Christmas day! Just register yourself via the link in our bio so we know to expect you, and can make sure your dietary needs are catered to.

You'll find the link to our fundraiser in our linktree and every single penny will help. Don't worry if you can't spare any cash right now, though - just telling your friends about the event and the fundraiser massively helps us to reach our target too!

But everything we're doing here at Queer Unity Hub is truly only possible with the support of all you folks. Our community café is completely volunteer-run, and donations from folks like you mean we can keep serving delicious, wholesome and FREE food every week.

We're serving up a delicious Christmas dinner to fifty people – including some folks who don't feel safe going home to family for Christmas this year, who might be facing Christmas alone, or may not be able to afford a big dinner.
