Gay Project is an LGBTI+ community organisation with its own centre on High Street in Cork. It has been going since 1984, works across the city and the county, and runs most of what it does out of that building.
The programme is wide. Sport covers a football club, a rugby club, an athletics and walking club, badminton, hill walking, Gaelic games and group bike rides. On health there is free rapid HIV testing, yoga and online meditation. The social side runs a drop-in cafe in the city and others around the county, a cafe for older gay men, a youth project and a games group.
There is a cultural strand too, with a reading and writing group, a drama group and a drag school. Training and advocacy work sits alongside the groups, and the organisation is a registered charity. Anyone looking for the queer community in Cork outside a bar will find most of it here.
