LGBTQ+ Social Space + Support Hub
The Angels Hub is all about creating a welcoming, inclusive space for LGBTQ+ people and allies to connect, relax, and thrive. Think of it as your go-to spot for community, conversation, and care – without the pressure of the bar scene.
Arrive by 6pm to enjoy a hot homecooked meal each month, with hot and cold refreshments, snacks and cake available throughout the evening.
Whether you’re looking for a friendly face, a listening ear, or just somewhere to feel at home, the Hub offers social connection, a supportive environment and positive vibes.
There is monthly support available until 7pm from TransLeeds, GIC Outreach team, Inspire North (stop smoking service) and Yorkshire MESMAC – along with other ad-hoc services.
Through monthly event sponsorship and grant support we are able to run this as a free event, however we do welcome donations on the evening to assist with our organisational costs.
We meet every first THURSDAY of the month, 5pm – 9pm.
