Are you involved with a LGBTQ+ community group, charity or project? Would you like to learn more about partnership building and meet new LGBTQ+ groups to work with?
Register for our upcoming event Community Connections!
A collaboration between Common Press and LGBT+ Consortium, this is a networking and learning workshop for LGBTQ+ community groups and charities. We are organising this event in response to Consortium members’ call for more networking opportunities and a keen interest in building partnerships. When Manju at Changemakers Unlimited led our Community Connections workshop last year, we explored what good collaboration looks like, and which skills and support we can offer each other.
Don’t worry if you didn’t attend last year's workshop, we’ll bring you up to speed.
This year we're so excited to work with Aisha Shaibu-Lenoir at The Common Press. Aisha has a wealth of knowledge and experience in collaborations, sharing resources and problem-solving. Aisha will deliver a workshop on community collaboration, planning and strategy for creatives, groups, and organisations.
There will be plenty of connection opportunities with other participants.
A few things to note:
- This session is for LGBT+ Consortium members only.
- We might be in touch and ask you a few questions about collaboration/partnership building in advance of the event so that we can best prepare.
- Due to space limitations we can only accommodate one person from each organisation.
- Please arrive hungry, we’ll be serving lunch!

Our radical independent shop stocks over 7,000 carefully curated titles, including work on trans-inclusive feminism, anti-colonialism, anti-fascism, ecopolitics, and self-care.
