June - Pride Month
Trinity Hospice Pride Event
Friday 16th of June 2023.
We have partnered with Royal Trinity Hospice for an in depth discussion with a host of expert panellists on the topic of hospice care for LGBTQ+ people and what it means to live and die as yourself.
The panel will include our very own QW member Amy Prescott - a research fellow at Brunel University and part of a 3-year £1.1m ESRC-funded project exploring social health among older marginalised groups. Amy will be discussing Socially Inclusive Ageing across the Life-course.
This discussion will be followed by a lovely summer tea party in the beautiful grounds of the Hospice. We would love to see you there!
Book your tickets here.

February Meet-Up
February is LGBTQ+ History Month but we know that a common thread for Queer people is to feel lonely and isolated.
We would love to hear your history - or for you to listen to other people's - share anecdotes, make friends, find your people and your community.
Come along to the Spread Eagle Pub and join us for a pint, be it of beer or juice.
Let us know you are coming here.
Christmas Party

We can't wait to see you!
