forum+ is planning for Camden and Islington LGBT History Month 2025, and we invite all the community to join us in celebrating local LGBT culture, heritage and history.

The first LGBT History Month was celebrated in February 2005 and LGBT History Month continues to be a vital annual celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and trans history.

The celebrations take place during the month of February and forum+ is seeking submissions for the Camden and Islington 2025 programme.

Last year’s programme featured over 40 events with a great diversity of subjects and voices represented. Previous programmes have included a very broad range of events including craft workshops, discussions, exhibitions, film screenings, guided walks, plays, performances, commemorations of local LGBT figures, talks and much more!

Following the repeal of Section 28, Schools OUT, a group working for the equality of LGBT people in the education system, founded UK LGBT History Month in 2004. The first national campaign in 2005 was a call to: claim our past, celebrate our present and create our future!

The theme for LGBT History Month 2025 is Activism and Social Change.

An exciting opportunity awaits to pay tribute to the amazing activists who enabled equality. Let’s learn together about the inspirational Camden and Islington individuals, campaigners and community groups, who achieved so much positive social change for LGBT communities

If you are planning an event in Camden or Islington for LGBT History Month we would love to hear about it!

Activities and events will be included as part of the main programme and promoted via forum+ social media channels. Submissions to the programme are welcome regardless of whether they are on the 2025 theme of Activism and Social Change.

If you are interested in organising an LGBT History Month event based in Camden and Islington, or would like to share details about an amazing LGBT activity taking place in February, please email: info@forumplus.org.uk

The deadline for submissions for Camden & Islington LGBT History Month 2025 is Wednesday, December 18, 2024.
