SUMMARY:Bodywork Physiotherapy
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to start a new service here at Positive East.

It combines physiotherapy\, osteopathy and massage to relax your muscles\, joints and promote the body’s natural self healing. \nTreatments are outcome-based\, which means all initial appointments include a short consultation to discuss your condition and your goals. \nThis service is led by Blake (BSc Physio\, MCSP) who is a musculo-skeletal physiotherapist\, with a special interest in chronic pain and spinal dysfunction. He has extensive experience working with HIV associated conditions\, having previously led the Physiotherapy service at Mildmay UK \nAsk any of the peer support staff about this new service

SUMMARY:Art workshop: London memories - Session 1
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this series of 3 art workshops with artist and HIV activist Hera Santos.  These workshops are inspired by the workshop we held as part of the Mayor’s Community Weekend in September\, which was really well attended and people enjoyed so much it over-ran. \nAll three workshops will run on Monday afternoons\, with a gap in between each session for you to continue work on your own if you wish. The 2nd session is on 9th February\, and the 3rd one on 23rd February. \nThe first session planned for 26th January has been postponed\, so the first one is now 9th February\, the second on 23rd February.  We’ll confirm the date of the new 3rd session as soon as it has been arranged \nYou can join for one or all three of these workshops – in which Hera will invite you to match a location with a memory (it could be London\, or anywhere in the world) and reflect on ways to represent your memories using a variety of methods \nContact jack.summerside@positiveeast.org.uk for more information or to register your interest

SUMMARY:Art workshop: London memories - Session 2
DESCRIPTION:Join us for this series of 3 art workshops with artist and HIV activist Hera Santos.  These workshops are inspired by the workshop we held as part of the Mayor’s Community Weekend in September\, which was really well attended and people enjoyed so much it over-ran. \nAll three workshops will run on Monday afternoons\, with a gap in between each session for you to continue work on your own if you wish. The 2nd session is on 9th February\, and the 3rd one on 23rd February. \nThe first session planned for 26th January has been postponed\, so the first one is now 9th February\, the second on 23rd February.  We’ll confirm the date of the new 3rd session as soon as it has been arranged \nYou can join for one or all three of these workshops – in which Hera will invite you to match a location with a memory (it could be London\, or anywhere in the world) and reflect on ways to represent your memories using a variety of methods \nContact jack.summerside@positiveeast.org.uk for more information or to register your interest

SUMMARY:Women's Group: Taking part in research
DESCRIPTION:Our Women’s Group is a regular social and support group for women living with HIV who either live in East London or if you get your HIV care in an East London clinic.  It usually meet on the 4th Wednesday evening of each month\, but this day and time may vary especially for visits out\, so its best to check these listing regularly. \nFood will be served around 6.15pm\, and the activities from around 6.45pm. \nThis month\, we’re taking a look at the pros\, cons and practicalities of taking part in research\, with Rebecca Mbewe making a welcome return visit to lead and facilitate discussions.  Increasing opportunities for women with HIV to get involved in research was one the issues raised back in the Women’s Group’s September session\, so we’ll be looking into it in more detail tonight.  We’ll also be joined by Renee West\, Positive East’s Research and Insight Manager. \nIf travel or care costs are a barrier to taking part\, let us know in advance. \nFor more information\, or to tell us you’re coming\, contact Mel.Rattue@positiveeast.org.uk
