London Bisexuals Monthly Pub Social

7th March 2023 by London Bisexuals Meetup Group

Our group’s regular bar social on the fourth Thursday every month, in a Soho bar. Great for new members; very friendly, relaxed atmosphere, definitely social, fun, and happy; not meat-market, just informal chat and optional drinks. Come say hi and hang out!

This is our main regular event. All bi+ people welcome (so including pansexual, queer etc.), plus supportive partners, anyone bi-curious/questioning, and practicing allies – no biphobia, racism, transphobia or other bigotry allowed! If you have extra needs or questions, please get in touch via Meetup messaging/social media.

⚫ Who/what to expect…
Pre-pandemic pub meets were 30-40 people, we’re gradually returning to near those numbers again; there will be a good mix of regulars and first-timers (roughly half and half – always a lot of new faces every time), genders (not too far from an even split of men/women, a few of whom might be trans, & non-binary people welcome too), a mix of ethnicities similar to or more diverse than the London population, and some neurodiversity (not all neurotypical people). The odd couple/+1 too.

This keeps it fresh and friendly to all – regulars chat to new folk. New members won’t be the only new person (by a long way) so you shouldn’t feel left out. If you turn up after the start and it looks like everyone already knows everyone – it only seems like that; its just how friendly we are. We finish late so we’re used to people coming and going through the evening.

Most people arrive within the first hour, it’s busiest at 9-9.30pm but a crowd is around til at least 10pm, often later (sometimes even a handful til midnight).

Official events are always posted on our Meetup(.com) group (not always elsewhere).

Trans+ Hangout 10/03/23

21st February 2023 by HERO - Health Equality and Rights Organisation

Trans+ Hangouts is LGBT Hero’s Transgender, Non-binary, gender exploratory and gender non-conforming Zoom group for 18+. We run twice a month You can be out to everyone or questioning, we welcome everyone on the trans spectrum. You are welcome to communicate however you feel comfortable, with cameras on or off or just using text chat.

You will receive a link for the Zoom meeting after signing up, shortly before the meet up. Please email [email protected] if you have any questions or need any support attending.

Why Come To a Zoom Hangout?

Here are some reasons people have said the come to Zoom meet ups –

  • To meet new people who I would not encounter in person.
  • They are more accessible to me due to my health requirements
  • I don’t have to worry about people I know seeing me while I am out
  • I can fit them into my day easily and still come along when I’m busy
  • Socialising can be really hard and awkward, I find it easier on Zoom

 

Timings: 

The sessions will be held on Zoom every other Thursday of the month between 7.00pm – 8:00pm. 

Session guidelines: 

  • Please add your pronouns to the display name on Zoom.
  • Please join the session with your mics on mute.
  • You do not have to have your camera on, you just do what you feel comfortable with. However, we believe to get the most out of the session, you might benefit from seeing some friendly faces.
  • When someone else is speaking, we ask that you keep yourselves on mute.
  • Please be respectful. We have zero tolerance for any kind of bullying/harassment. Anyone who exhibits this behaviour will be removed from the sessions.
  • You are welcome to leave at anytime if you feel uncomfortable or anxious, just let us know in the chat.
  • Do not attempt to contact other members outside the group unless they have made it clear they consent to this.

 

We are not a crisis service, we can do our best to support you or answer questions but we are primarily a social group. If you are experiencing a mental health crisis please follow THIS link.

Trans+ is funded by the National Lottery Community Fund as part of a joint mental health programme in partnership with London Friend and Elop. LGBT HERO is funded to deliver online support groups for LGBTQ+ people. Trans+ is part of this work.
