Bring An Queer Community Space To Aberystwyth

Hi, I'm Ren, a director for Queer Little Space - soon to be incorporated as a CIC - Community Interest Company.

In Ceredigion, there are a few groups and some events, but no dedicated spaces for the LGBTQ community to gather, socialise, get information and support or just a cup of coffee in a trans-friendly space.

I would like to change this and bring a space to Aberystwyth that can serve as a hub for LGBTQ people, events and groups. We would sell products for and by LGBTQ people, have a small cafe, and host groups and whatever the community feels they want and need. Hopefully, in time this could include clothes swaps, mutual aid, advice services and more.

There are a ton of empty shops in Aberystwyth that could be used by us.

It takes money though. We are applying for grants, but anything you can give to help us get set up would be amazing.
