The Flamingo Fund: Supporting Leeds’ LGBTQ+ Community.
At Flamingos Coffee House, we’re proud to be more than just a café. We’re a safe, inclusive space where everyone belongs, and the Flamingo Fund is our way of giving back to the vibrant LGBTQ+ community that inspires us every day.
Through the Flamingo Fund, we commit to supporting LGBTQ+ projects, organisations, and initiatives in Leeds. Together, we’re building a stronger, more connected community—one cup of coffee at a time.
What Is the Flamingo Fund?
The Flamingo Fund is our grant-based initiative designed specifically to uplift and empower LGBTQ+ individuals and groups. It provides funding to projects, events, and organisations that support the LGBTQ+ community, helping them thrive and make a meaningful difference. Whether it’s promoting inclusion, supporting queer creatives, or creating safe spaces, the Flamingo Fund is here to help make it happen.
