This group is for you if you are HIV positive and either live in East London or get your HIV care in an East London clinic.  It usually meets on the second Wednesday evening of each month\, but this day and time may vary especially for visits out\, so its best to check these listing regularly.  There’ll be food served around 6.15. with the activities beginning around 6.45 \nThis month\, we’re welcoming Lucy Nichols\, one of the dieticians from Food Chain to look at ways to eat well on a budget – as making money stretch after the holiday season can be especially challenging.

SUMMARY:U=U community quilt stitching party
DESCRIPTION:U=U Quilt Stitching Parties\n\n\nAfter a year of collecting over 1\,300 photographs to celebrate the U=U message\, we’re ready to start stitching! \nPlease join us for one of our stitching parties\, where we’ll come together to add the finishing touch to the three large quilt panels. \nNo experience is necessary\, and all are welcome to attend.  We’ll provide all the supplies and food (we’ll email to request any dietary requirements). \nEmail ian.montgomery@positiveeast.org.uk if you have any questions or need more info. \nWe hope to see you there! \nPlease register via Outsavvy U=U Quilt Stitching Parties Tickets | Multiple Dates @ Mark Ashley Centre\, London | FREE | OutSavvy \nWhat is the U=U community quilt? \nPositive East will create three 2\,030mm x 2\,030mm (6.5′ x 6.5′) quilt panels\, comprised of thousands of selfies from the international community to help celebrate the powerful message of U=U. \nThe individual selfies\, provided from around the world\, will be printed on fabrics then stitched together\, celebrating each individual and their contribution to the U=U movement. \nOverlayed will be the three\, but simple and powerful letters U = U. From far away these letters will be clearly visible\, however as you approach the quilt panels\, the letters will dissolve unfolding a diverse mosaic of individuals from our community. \nThe project is kindly supported by Arts Council England and the BHIVA Laura Waters Community Fund.

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 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
