The Kite Trust plans a ‘Birthday Bash’ at The Junction

The Kite Trust – the leading voice for LGBT+ young people in the east of England – turns 25 this year. To celebrate its silver jubilee it is holding a ‘Birthday Bash’ at The Junction on Tuesday 20th February 2018. All profits will go towards supporting LGBT+ young people in Cambridgeshire.

A night of eclectic entertainment is headlined by Edinburgh Award Nominee and Mock the Week regular Zoe Lyons. Compered by hilarious Jonathan Mayor – a regular at Manchester’s Pride – there will also be Aerial Hoop acrobatics, an original piece by Queer Arts Cambridge Youth and music by Sing Out!
