The Outside Project is an LGBTIQ+ Community Shelter, Centre and Domestic Abuse Refuge in response to those within the LGBTIQ+ community who feel endangered, who are homeless, ‘hidden’ homeless and feel that they are on the outside of services due to historical and present prejudice in society and in their homes.
Our History
Since our founding in 2017, The Outside Project has campaigned for and led groundbreaking initiatives to support homeless LGBTIQ+ people in London. From the original LGBTIQ+ Winter Night Shelter in 2017 to the COVID emergency response and founding of the UK’s first LGBTIQ+ domestic abuse refuge in 2020, the organisation works tirelessly to address the absence of LGBTIQ+ crisis housing for London’s estimated ½ million LGBTIQ+ population.
The Outside Project continues to advocate for a permanent solution to the UKs Housing Crisis:
Year-round, LGBTIQ+ Centres and crisis housing in each sub-region of London.
