Needs Assessment project in Barking and Dagenham From ELOP and the LGBT Consortium.

Dear LGBT Consortium Member

We are currently working with ELOP who are carrying out a Needs Assessment project in Barking and Dagenham. I know that you don’t operate directly in Barking and Dagenham but I wondered if you might be able to share the following information and link with any relevant service users, networks or members please?  

The Needs Assessment project, funded by Barking and Dagenham Council, aims to collect a range of information about the experiences of LGBT+ people who live, work and study in the Borough.
A community survey has been created which is designed to enable everyone to share their experiences, to form a picture of life in Barking and Dagenham and to help influence how local services are designed to meet the needs of LGBT+ people.

The full link is http://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/4053868/Barking-DagenhamLGBTCommunitySurvey, the link contains more information about the survey and what will happen to the information people provide. The survey closes on the 2nd February.   

If you can help disseminate, that would be greatly appreciated by all.
Thanks in advance.
All the best
Vicky

European Court Advises EU Countries To Recognise Same-Sex Marriages
by Tim Gibson
A senior advisor to the European Court of Justice has said that married same-sex couples should receive the same freedom of movement benefits as their straight counterparts. Marriage equality is still a contentious issue among many EU member states, with countries like Italy, Greece and Slovenia and a dozen others yet to budge on legalising. Belgian advocate general Melchior Wathelet gave his opinion after hearing the case of Romanian Adrian Oman and his American partner Claibourn Robert Hamilton who were married in Belgium in 2010. Despite their legal marriage in an EU state Romania is refusing to recognise them as a couple and grant residency rights for Hamilton.

GPN with Lady C on Tuesday at the Savile Club

Join your Network on the 23rd January at the exclusive Savile Club in Mayfair.

We are a group of Gay Professionals who like their comfort, good wine and food, comfortable surrounding and great people.

Lady Colin CampbellLady Colin Campbell has graciously accepted to be our guest of honour on this occasion.

The Savile Club was established in 1868 by a group of the most distinguished writers and artists of the time. Its home is a fine 18th Century house in the heart of Mayfair, whose air of elegant exclusivity reflects the uniquely creative ambiance which is preserved in the Savile Club of today.

Dress code (for Members and Guests)
The Club has no formal dress code, other than a rather undefined rule of not offending other members, so although for example jeans and trainers are not permitted and a jacket is required (except in very hot weather when a notice will be posted on the board), a tie is not de rigueur.
It reflects of course on the price since we  pay for room hire and more expensive wines and include canapés.


The choice (this may change pending new menus in 2018) is

White Burgundy: Macon-Uchizy and Bordeaux: Chateau Beauregard-Ducourt.

Canapés:

 Selection of Crostini:
            Oven dried cherry tomatoes and feta cheese, mustard dressing
            Parma Ham and horseradish cream
            Smoked Salmon, crème fraiche and dill
            Marinated artichoke hearts with olive pesto
                       Tiger Prawns on a stick with dipping sauce
                       Mozzarella, Tomato and Basil kebab
                       Chicken Satay
                       Honey & Mustard Sausages
                       Smoked Haddock Welsh Rarebit
                       Salmon Fishcakes, Lemon Mayonnaise
                       Anchovy Sticks and remoulade sauce


The price is £49.50 and includes a small fee towards the running of GPN.
GPN is a non for profit membership organisation operating since 2010. The excess from the membership fees after food, drinks and room hire pays for the website, promotion, organising, stationary including the badges, transport & banners, guests and guest speakers. 

Members who have already paid for the year, there is no further charges except that we now will meet bimonthly and up to five times a year.

By hiring private rooms, we can talk and make the occasional presentation without the noise associated with cheaper venues. 

As we did over the last few years, drinks will be included, (up  to a point though!).

I am also delighted to extend another exclusive invitation to the Whitefriars Club, of which I am the Honorary Secretary, at the Palace of Westminster to Celebrate its 150th Anniversary on Thursday 22nd February. Although not exclusively Gay, I can assure you of a few LGBT tables... details and RSVP: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/whitefriars-club-150th-anniversary-at-the-palace-of-westminster-tickets-35239904503
