The Camden Lesbian Project was started in the early 1980s. The aim was to have a centre for lesbians only. When it was finally created together with the Black Lesbian Group, it became the only centre for lesbians in the whole country.

It managed to obtain funding for the centre from Camden Council and had a management committee which was multi-ethnic and included lesbians with disabilities. It provided a safe space for lesbians from many different backgrounds to meet up and enjoy lesbian gatherings.

These included holding fund raising events for different projects (then known as benefits) and organising protests and lesbian strength marches
