Our activities include our legendary club nights, a home away from home. A range of welcoming social events in person and online to connect our diverse communities, build relationships and reduce isolation often faced by our members. Community collaborations and partnerships including training and speaking engagements to educate and raise awareness of our experience as LGBTQ+ people of South Asian heritage in the UK.

“Club Kali provided me a home away from home! A fun, safe haven to celebrate my sexuality, gender expression and culture freely. It helped a queer gay immigrant like me to affirm myself and form good friends for life” Sanjay Kumar

How do you express, or oppress yourself? Being LGBTQ+ with our faith, family, culture & community impacts our mental health and wellbeing. Our Online events acknowledge these complexities.
One example is our Pink Hub project, a collaboration of LGBTQ+ organisations working together to support our LGBTQ+ communities better. It’s smarter way to deliver the best we can for our diverse groups and communities across the UK.
We’ve been around for nearly 30 years! We have a lot to say! Book our Directors, Co-founders, or members for your conference, Q&A, Panels and events if you’d like to hear about our journey, our voice, our expertise.
WHAT’S ON
“Ahhh Club Kali those unforgettable nights of coming together and being with MY PEOPLE. The ritual of choosing what to wear, getting ready, the fizz of excitement in the car, or the bike, heightening as we hit Holloway Road. It was the event of the month where we would dance to soul tunes with our chosen family, where we would laugh and flirt. And sometimes cry. My first time nearly 30 years go – life changing, life affirming and lifelong friendships formed. A safe place of belonging where we could be free, and our true selves.”

“Walking into a Club Kali event is like coming home…to the sexiest friends and chosen family you will ever have :)”
“Club Kali is so much more than a club night. It’s a place of safety and celebration that connects the South Asian LGBTQ+ community with its rich culture. It’s a place of love, acceptance and friendship all wrapped up in a night of incredible desi music and dancing. I think it’s one of the first places in London I felt a collective joy and freedom. I have made friends for life there, found and lost love, picked up useful welfare information and contacts, boogied until my feet hurt and made a head full of memories. Thank you for holding us all together and Ritu for DJ-ing us through the decades.”
