Safer Sounds collaborates with Phantom to raise funds for LGBTQ+ spaces.

Take Me to the Club is both a love letter to iconic places we’ve lost and an effort to raise money to help keep remaining venues open. With our sights set on £15k, we’ve crafted a website that celebrates queer clubbing, full of memories and imagery depicting moments shared in these spaces, given to us by the people that loved them.

The project profiles 21 venues and features custom illustrations inspired by London’s queer nightlife. As part of our fundraising goals, we’ve also made a limited edition Take Me to the Club t-shirt full of illustrations and available for purchase on Everpress. All of the money we raise will go towards grants for remaining venues.
