A space to just be

Available for over a year

Matthew Hyndman, also known as Matty, is a former contestant in the BBC One series of The Traitors. He's the founder of the Wee Gay Hike Club, and he tells Rachel Burden how he hopes the group can be a space for LGBTQ+ people and their allies to find community, connect with the outdoors and enjoy nature. Café Hope is our virtual Radio 4 coffee shop, where guests pop in for a brew and a chat to tell us what they're doing to make things better in big and small ways. Think of us as sitting in your local café, cooking up plans, hearing the gossip and celebrating the people making the world a better place. We're all about trying to make change. It might be a transformational project that helps an entire community or it might be about trying to make one life a little easier. And the key here is in the trying. Not everything works, and there are struggles along the way. But it's always worth a go.
