This weekend, Queer Croydon joined thousands of people at London Trans+ Pride, marching alongside members of our community, friends, families and allies. Thank you to everyone who marched with us, and to everyone continuing to stand up for our community. We’ll keep doing the same.
The updated Equality Act Code of Practice comes into effect on 5 August 2026. We know this may feel worrying and could make everyday situations, including using public toilets, more stressful or complicated for trans people.
Join Queer Croydon For A Placard-Making Community Check-In
Queer Croydon is proud to announce the continuation of its Creative Wellness Programme for 2026/27, supported by the Croydon Loves You Fund 2026 with support from Croydon Council.
Over the past eight months, Queer Croydon has been participating in Design. Build. Act. – a community programme delivered by Protection Approaches that supports grassroots organisations to strengthen their understanding of hate crime, community safety and victim support.
We’re excited to share that Queer Croydon has been awarded a 2026 Cash4Clubs grant from Flutter UK & Ireland and Sported. This funding will support the continued development of our emerging Active Programme – helping us create more inclusive, welcoming opportunities for LGBT+ people in Croydon to access movement, wellbeing, sport, and community in ways that feel genuinely accessible and low-pressure.
This month, we’re in conversation with BLKOUT – a Black queer-led collective working at the intersection of culture, community, and digital innovation. Through projects like Ivor’s Compass, they are reimagining how we engage with history, identity, and collective wellbeing, centring stories that have too often been overlooked. We spoke to the team about the work, the thinking behind it, and what it means to build something rooted in community, memory, and care.
Free Counselling Support
In a time where trans lives are often debated rather than supported, projects like Image In are doing something quietly powerful – offering practical, affirming care where it’s needed most.
On the evening of Saturday 7th March, something quietly historic happened in Croydon. For the first time, an LGBT+ inclusive swimming session took place at Waddon Leisure Centre, bringing together members of the community for an evening centred on wellbeing, connection and joy.
Since the very first nights of Their Majesties at The Oval Tavern in 2022, Lukasz Izdebski has been there – camera in hand – quietly documenting the birth and growth of what would become Queer Croydon.
Queer Croydon is proud to announce the launch of Creative Wellness LGBT+ Inclusive Swimming – a Creative Health Open Evening taking place on Saturday 7 March at Waddon Leisure Centre, from 6:30pm to 9:30pm.
