About Us

Cafe Amach launched a new and exciting initiative for the LGBTQ+ community in South Armagh and beyond on Friday 25 March.    

Founder Hannah Agnew says "I think mainly the gist is that I want young, LGBTQ + people to feel like they do not have to keep their Irish and their queer identity separate, that they can exist together because that very rarely gets presented together.  "And you don't have to go to London to get access to that, you don't have to watch American TV shows to get access to that, you can get it here  " I am be absolutely over the moon to see young people coming in the door.   The main plan and the priority is to create a visibly safe space for young LGBTQ people. Agnew emphasises that all staff are LGBTQ + trained and/or LGBT themselves.  

The big emphasis is it's going to be LGBTQ + and allies, the idea being that you can bring your friends, meaning that anyone who comes doesn't have to necessarily disclose anything about themselves if they don't want to!  It's all about solidarity and being there for your friends   For more information email Hannah HANNAH@ANTOBARCIC.COM or phone 028 30860302
