Developmental pillars for a lasting agency

Foundation Areas

The initial three areas of our proposed operational framework focus on immediate safety, internal care, and structural advocacy.

Community & Belonging

Wellbeing & Support

Policy & Advocacy

Cultivating safe, welcoming physical and digital spaces where Black LGBTQI+ individuals across Ireland gather without isolation or tokenism.

Designing intersectional mental health and peer support frameworks that honour the unique realities of navigating race, gender, and sexuality.

Formulating rights-based agendas and engaging civic bodies to dismantle systemic barriers affecting Black queer communities nationwide.

Expansion Areas

Leadership, information, and public research

Our secondary developmental streams build long-term agency, rigorous resource sharing, and authentic public representation.

Leadership & Opportunity

Information & Rights

Research & Public Voice

Creating pathways for Black queer individuals to step into governance, creative direction, and community organising roles.

Compiling accessible guides on civic rights, healthcare access, and safeguarding tailored to our community's needs.

Centering authentic Black Irish experiences through self-determined research that challenges migratory tropes and historical erasure.

Developmental Ethos

These pillars are not fixed mandates delivered from above; they are evolving roadmaps actively shaped by ongoing listening sessions across Ireland.
