Remembering the East London Gay Community

Description

The East London Gay Community supported one another and made sure to have a lot of fun! Regular activities ranged from a helpline and coffee evenings to discos and fundraisers. Founded in 1978, the ELGC ran regular events like these for over three decades. Newham Heritage Centre has a significant collection of their newsletters, as revealed in this blog by Heritage Officer, Cas Bradbeer.
