SUMMARY:Sonic Hub Presents: Sonic Queermas
DESCRIPTION:Sonic Hub Presents: Sonic Queermas | An end of year networking event to unify queer creatives in the music industry! \nSonic Hub is a music and culture publication based in the UK that primarily focuses on highlighting small artists and showcasing them to a new audience. Our mission is to create a safe space for all kinds of women and non-binary creatives to excel in the music industry. \nThe holiday season\, just like the music industry\, can be very isolating and daunting. For that reason\, Sonic Hub is throwing one last event in 2024\, a chill networking event where queer creatives in the music industry can come\, hang out and meet likeminded individuals! (musicians\, journalists\, producers\, photographers and many many others). \nThere will cute snacks\, small little Christmas tokens\, music and amazing people! The event is entirely self-funded and curated with the utmost love and care. Any donations will revert back to the magazine and go into our 2025 program! Feel free to provide any feedback or ideas to make our events even better!

SUMMARY:Winter Wellbeing Workshop
DESCRIPTION:8-week programme designed to support people to develop new skills and strengthen existing strategies to maintain wellbeing over winter.\n\n\nWe know that the winter months can have an impact on people’s wellbeing for multiple reasons\, and that it can be a tricky time for many people. Given that this can be an isolating experience\, we feel that it may be useful to meet as a group to share and develop skills and strategies to better support ourselves and each other through this time. \nAshley and Navya will facilitate an 8-week workshop grounded in ideas and techniques from Compassion Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy practices. These sessions will focus primarily on developing awareness and understanding of emotional experiences\, as well as participating in experiential exercises to develop soothing skills. \nIt is essential that participants commit to the 8-week programme to get the most out of the workshops\, as there will be a gradual development of ideas and skills over time. \nConsistent attendance is also important for building group safeness and relational trust.This is not intended to be a therapy group: rather than in-depth exploration of personal experiences\, these sessions will focus on skills development and coping strategies. \nIt is understandable that speaking about wellbeing may prompt participants to consider further support to address any difficulties. In such instances\, Ashley and Navya are able to signpost to relevant services. \nAbout the facilitators \nDr Ashley Peart (he/him) is a Black queer man and Clinical Psychologist with 10 years of experience in the NHS\, education and voluntary sectors. He is passionate about increasing access to mental health services and the clinical psychology profession\, and supporting young people and adult’s mental health through a holistic\, creative\, and strengths-based approach. \nDr Navya Anand (she/her) is queer Indian cisgendered woman and Clinical Psychologist\, working in Children’s Social Care\, Academic\, and Private Practice settings. \n She hopes to incorporate compassion-based practices across different levels of service provision\, and to embody values of social justice in her work.  \nAccessibility \nWe hope to make this group accessible to a wider range of people in the community\, and as such will be providing the workshops online in the evenings on Mondays. Closed captions will be available\, and we welcome conversations about how to ensure the space is accessible to all participants. \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 any Covid-19 symptoms including a headache\, fever\, sore throat and consistent cough. \nYou can wear a mask if you feel more comfortable. We also have masks and hand sanitiser available at the Centre. \nFor current information on Covid please visit the NHS website. \nDonate to the Centre \nWe rely on donations to ensure that the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre can keep its doors open for years to come. \nTo donate or become a Friend of the Centre\, visit our website.

SUMMARY:LGBTQ+ Coworking Space
DESCRIPTION:A space for LGBTQ+ freelancers\, students and work-from-homers\n\n\nJoin us for coffee\, a desk and queer business! \nEvery Wednesday the London LGBTQ+ Community Centre opens its space for freelancers\, students and anyone that work remotely. \nAt 1pm we’ll have a social lunch hour so we can have an arranged time to break for lunch and have a chat. It can be tricky to fit in a proper lunch break and we are hoping this will help. \nIf you don’t want to join\, that’s okay! It’ll just be an hour with slightly more chatting and background noise\, no pressure at all. On sunny days we’ll eat outside. \nThis coworking space is run in partnership with Business Queers\, a network of freelancers and small business operators.

Our immersive experiences go beyond relaxation—it’s about empowerment\, wellness\, and forging meaningful connections. \nOur vision is for queer people of colour to see the outdoors as a space where we belong. A Natural England study found that White people are 70% more likely than Black and Asian people to spend time in the countryside. We want to change this. We deserve to reap the benefits of improved emotional well-being and physical health too. \nWe believe creativity and nature go hand in hand\, which is why most of our events encourage you to embrace nature and your inner creative spirit.
