We secured the 'handbag'. Shout Festival are stoked to announce funding support from The National Lottery Heritage Fund for our Birmingham Q***r Archive project!

LGBTQIA+ culture in Birmingham faces new threats, from loss of venues, to pushback on trans rights, bringing sharply into focus a need to better document and celebrate our heritage.
