Help illegally-evicted owners of much loved cafe

When the pandemic hit, Aaron and Sophia channeled their life savings into the Hidden Corner Cafe to provide a safe space for LGBTQ+ and POC communities in Bristol.

They have since been the target of a campaign of abuse by landlords wishing to gentrify Bristol further.

Despite paying the rent on time and being peaceful tenants, on 4 October Sophia arrived at the cafe to find the doors chained shut and an illegal eviction notice pinned to the door.

Hundreds of pounds worth of stock is locked inside, along with some of Aaron and Sophia’s personal possessions.

This Crowdfunder has been set up to help two of the best people I know tackle mounting legal costs caused by this injustice. Please donate if you can to help keep Hidden Corner Cafe in the community.

Peaceful protests will continue for the rest of the week (4 Oct - 10 Oct). Anyone wishing to show their support can expect a warm smile and warm drink from Sophia.
