Previous Projects

This year the forum celebrates its 10 years anniversary.

We hope you can join us celebrating the past 10 years at some of the many events planned this year.

Since we started we have advised, supported and listened to the LGBT community in Sutton.

We have marched at London Prides, Brighton and Trans Prides and supported our colleagues at other boroughs.

We held History Month nights, movie nights, a walk in housing support group in partnership with Stonewall Housing, raised money for THT and World AID's day.

We have held many Sunday Brunches, a Youth Group and a Women's evening.

These past years we have had Suttons PRIDE crossing installed and proud to have had the very first UK Trans Crossing last year, which quickly followed with Sutton first Trans Clinic.

These are just some of the achievements from the forum over the past 10 years and hope to have many more to come.

We will kick of the celebrations on the 27th Feb with Sunday Brunch at All Bar One.

This will be followed with a evening celebration on the 20th March.

Youth Group Fundraiser - November 2023

We were hugely grateful to Hawkins Magic Events who collaborated with us to put on a show to remember.

Hosted at the Sound Lounge, Sutton we had an array of seasoned and well known performers hosting the evening thank you Ooak and Miss Gendered for keeping us entertained throughout the evening.

We were lucky enough to showcase an array of local youth talent alongside these seasoned drag artists.

Dragatha Stone performed some lip-sync numbers,

LuLu danced and lip-synced across the stage,

Ali-Holic sung live 'sweet transvestite' from The Rocky horror picture show ,then danced and lip synced a few other numbers.

Ronnie and Eren performed a comical piece written and directed by themselves called 'navigating gender for dummies.'

Keera our youngest performer charmed us with a live song and finished the set with a dance and lip-sync to 'born this way' by Lady Gaga whilst draped in the progress pride flag.

We are exceptionally grateful all the volunteers that helped on the night and to all those attended. Thank you to all those that donated raffle prizes too.

All proceeds from the ticket sales, raffle and other donations will all go towards our upcoming youth group which will hopefully be launched in 2024.

Special thanks to Aaron at Hawkins Magic Events for running the event on the night and for reaching out to us to collaborate on such a special event.

Michelle for running and announcing the raffle.

Zariyan and Sam for scanning tickets and ushering people into the venue on the night.

Rachel has supported the LGBTQ+ community in Sutton for the past 6 years, travelling down from Dartford to hold events for the community in Sutton. She has been a key point on supporting the Trans Community in Sutton and was part of the team that created the very first UK trans crossing in Sutton and has been the project leader on TransSutton and the Transclinic based at the James O'Riordan Medical Centre. We would like to share our thanks for her generous support and help and wish her all the very best for her future projects.

We are lucky enough to keep Rachel on as Treasurer for the next year, we welcome Jake Short as our new Chair for 2023.
