SUMMARY:Masc and Mellow
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to Masc and Mellow – a gentle\, peer-led space at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre for trans masc and nonbinary people to connect\, rest\, and feel less alone. \nAre you seeking a calm and welcoming community where you can be yourself? Masc and Mellow offers a low-pressure environment to make friends\, share stories\, and participate in creative and activist projects together. \nWhether you’re neurodivergent\, queer\, or simply craving more friendships and connections within the community\, then this group is here to support you. \nThis meeting is the first of many\, and facilitator Sam is excited to build a more solid\, lasting community through Masc and Mellow. \nWe’ll gather for gentle check-ins\, crafts\, creative projects\, mindfulness walks\, hikes\, and discussions about activism and community care. Looking ahead\, we hope to explore more fun and meaningful activities like group protests\, zine-making workshops\, outdoor picnics\, movie nights\, trips away from the city\, and game sessions — all paced so everyone can enjoy. \nThe event wraps up around 5:30 PM\, but if you’re up for it\, we’ll head out for chill drinks nearby — no wild party vibes\, just easy company and good conversation. \nJoin us at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre in Blackfriars to find calm\, connection\, and community — and help us grow something special together. \nAbout the facilitator \nSam (he/him) is a trans writer\, editor\, and community creative from Edinburgh\, now based in London. \nHe’s been published over a dozen times across platforms like Eve and Little Living\, and has previously worked as Senior Editor at Wingless Dreams Publishing House. His work explores trans masculinity\, class\, and neurodivergence through poetry\, storytelling\, and zine-making. \nSam has also worked in youth advocacy and homelessness support\, with a focus on care-led\, accessible spaces. \nHe lives with ADHD\, dyslexia\, and dyspraxia\, which informs everything he does. Whether Sam’s behind a camera or holding space in a group\, he’s interested in gentleness\, visibility\, and real connection. \nAccessibility \nThis is an informal group with prompts for inspiration which Jay will provide both written and verbally. People are free to explore their ideas or be given instruction as required. It will be a quiet space where people can take breaks as required. \nThe Centre’s accessibility statement is here. \nCovid safety at the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre \nTo keep our community safe\, we ask that all visitors do not visit the Centre if they are feeling unwell including headache\, fever\, sore throat\, consistent cough and chills. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable.
