Support Our Journey
Shwmae pawb! Nofela CIC is a registered non-profit Community Interest Company passionately dedicated to establishing Swansea’s very first safe, sober, and inclusive physical LGBTQ+ bookshop, café, and neurodivergent-friendly community hub.
Every single penny raised on this page is legally asset-locked. This means it goes directly into outfitting our future low-sensory physical venue, stocking diverse literature, and running free local workshops, poetry nights, and support networks. There are three fantastic ways you can help us build this space:
1. Back Our Crowdfunder Platform
We are currently running an official crowdfunding campaign to raise the core startup capital needed to secure Nofela's permanent physical home in the heart of Swansea. While we actively apply for grants to cover long-term running costs like staffing, our Crowdfunder is what gets the doors open.
By backing our Crowdfunder directly, you are directly funding our initial opening stock of 250+ queer-authored book titles, professional-grade café espresso systems to ensure business sustainability, and our primary premises deposit.

We understand that budgets can be tight. That is why we have partnered with two brilliant alternative platforms that allow you to support our community hub effortlessly through your normal weekly routines:
2. Lotto Abertawe
Support our storefront setup while putting yourself in line to win a staggering £25,000 jackpot!
Tickets cost just £1 a week. Because this is a hyper-local lottery run by the SCVS, a massive 60% of every single ticket bought through our page comes straight back to local Swansea causes (50% directly to Nofela!).
3. Easyfundraising
Turn your ordinary online shopping into completely free donations for Nofela CIC!
Whenever you shop online with over 8,000 major brands (like Tesco, M&S, eBay, Booking.com, and Argos), the brand automatically sends us a small percentage of your checkout total as a donation bonus. It costs you absolutely nothing extra!
"Thank you so much for your ongoing warmth, energy, and solidarity. Together, we are building a beautiful space where everyone can safely belong."
