Outside In is a free weekly community space in Camden (London) for LGBTIQ+ people and friends. It's hosted by the Outside Project, the Black Cap Foundation, and Castlehaven Community Association, and takes place every Monday from 6pm to 9pm at Castlehaven Community Centre.

 

Every week there's an optional activity like making collages, simple cookery, or watching a film. Most weeks there's also a visiting service like haircuts from Open Barbers, clothes swaps and alteration help, or sexual health screening and advice from CLASH.

There are snacks (including vegan and gluten free), tea, coffee, hot chocolate (dairy and plant-based milks available) and other soft drinks. (No alcohol – this is a sober space.) You can chat or just sit quietly (whether you're taking part in the activities or not) and there are separate quiet rooms too. There's free wifi. It's all very informal and people are welcome to come and go any time between 6pm and 9pm.
