I thought it was about time for a mid/late summer check in and update on the collective!
Below is a link to the full agenda - feel free to add any points you want to cover as well, but the TLDR version is:
- Recapping the idea of the collective and organize the regular monthly tasks
- An update from James on working with Geeks for Social Change & Place Cal
- Space for anyone else with projects to share or get input on to have the floor

If you are a member of the collective - please come along in person or via video link - soon there will be more collaboration and elements to get involved with but during this busy time, checking in and supporting each other with free training, with tasks, with cross sharing online is what we've planned to do. I really wanna revive momentum as autumn comes and start working towards all the important and useful plans we talked about in the first meetings.
If you aren't part of the collective (yet) the Fruit Salad Events Collective is a community of event organisers who make events for the lgbtqia+ community, prioritise conversation and connection at these events, and give clear communication on accessibility.
You can join by adding yourself to the whatsapp group and coming along to meetings:

Hope to see you there
