Monday Zoom MeetingsEach meeting in February has seen a healthy turnout of members and friends. Topics have been wide ranging and there is never a shortage of strong opinions. However, the most noticeable aspects of the sessions are the copious amounts of laughter and the willingness to accept outsiders and make them feel welcome. OLGBT MIND-MATTERS PROJECTWe are coming to the end of the six-month project which appears to have been highly successful. It’s main aims were to help people combat isolation and loneliness in lockdown. Craft activities like cross stitching have provided participants not only with something interesting to keep them engaged for the period of the workshops, but also keeping us well occupied for hours and hours afterwards. |
