17.30 – 18.25: Arrival, refreshments and pre-event networking

18.25 – 18.30: Welcome and introductions
Lee Hawkins, Hate Crime Coordinator, Metropolitan Police

Sarah Humphreys, Chair, ELOP and Tower Hamlets LGBT Voices

18.30 – 19.30: ‘People, Power and Parliament’
Charlotte Dobson, Senior Community Outreach Officer for Parliament in London

@CharlotteD_Hop   @YourUKParl

The ‘People, Power and Parliament’ session will cover the basics of How Parliament works and how members of the public can get involved. With a focus on LGBT rights, Charlotte will cover the different ways in which MPs and members of the House of Lords can raise issues on your behalf as well as how you can begin to influence the UK Parliament and get your voice heard.

19.30 – 20.00: Activism & Reconciliation: LGBT+ Community and the Police

Pliny Soocoormanee, Executive Assistant, Peter Tatchell Foundation

@PT_Foundation   www.petertatchellfoundation.org

The year 1967 is an important milestone for LGBT History, it marks the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England. The very first steps on a very long road, a very long road of the struggle for LGBT+ liberation.

The law & the police have not always been on the side of the LGBT+ community. Tonight we will remember the tense relationship between these two groups paying special attention to some milestone events. We will consider how activism and the change in law played a role in reshaping the relationship between the police and the LGBT+ community. Long gone are the days of harassment and entrapment, today the police take homophobic hate crimes seriously and they are present in full uniform at Pride marches. Change does happen! 

20.00 – 20.20: European Court of Human Rights - Challenging ‘the age of consent’

Richard Desmond, Chair of Victoria Park Friends, Activist and Volunteer

Richard Desmond’s European Court of Human Rights case was the first to challenge the age of consent, when he was 16, with the brilliant Barrister Peter Ashman really doing the work, it failed but it proved the principle that cases could be taken. 

20.20 – 20.50: ‘Any Old Iron’
Linda Wilkinson, Award-winning Author, Playwright and Historian

www.lindawilkinson.org

Throughout history the London Borough of Tower Hamlets has been on the edge. The edge of the City, the edge of acceptability and nowadays perhaps just edgy. Is it pure romanticism to think that we also had an edge on tolerance for difference? Join us for a look back over the centuries, including the 21^st, to see how our forbearers lived, loved and helped establish the nature of the East End.

20.50 – 21.00: Closing Remarks

Lee Hawkins, Hate Crime Coordinator, Metropolitan Police

Nicóla Puma, LGBT Events & Community Worker, ELOP and Tower Hamlets LGBT Voices

United in Strength (A new LBT+ Domestic Violence Service)

Hi there,

I am contacting you to introduce United in Strength, an LBT+ Domestic Violence service ran by Outcome at Mind. We are currently looking for LBT+ women who could kindly donate a few hours of their time, as a one off or on a more regular basis to share a skill, some knowledge or a workshop with our service user group.

United in Strength provide a service supporting women who are experiencing, or have recently experienced domestic violence and/or abuse. United in Strength are staffed exclusively by LBT women. There has been a desperate need for an LBT women only domestic violence service and to address this need we have created a safe and supportive environment.

We run every Tuesday, alongside Outcome, an LGBTQ+ mental health service ran by LGBTQ+ people. Outcome provides a therapeutic drop in space with a range of therapies and services to improve mental health and well-being. There is also homemade lunch, organised optional activities including creative writing and drama.

United in Strength provide:

• One on one emotional support with an experienced DV worker
• A befriending service
• A timetable of workshops to build resilience and self-esteem
• Access to Outcome services

As we understand, there are several aspects of domestic violence/abuse that are unique to LBT women. On that basis we are happy to come to your organisation to talk about LBT domestic violence and the issues that affect LBT women to both staff and service users, if useful.

Attached to this email is a leaflet that we would be grateful if you could share with your colleagues. If you, or anyone you know would like to have a further conversation about potentially running a day/half day workshop, please reply by return.

Many thanks

Melissa Johanson
