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.

SUMMARY:Bodywork Physiotherapy
DESCRIPTION:We’re excited to start a new service here at Positive East. To begin with\, it will be available for two hours on the first Thursday of the month and will operate on a drop-in\, first come\, first served basis rather than booked appointments. \nBodywork – Pain and Mobility Management Service at Positive East \nBodywork is a holistic\, hands-on approach to help people who want to move better\, reduce pain or just relax. 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:U=U Community Quilt - Opening reception
DESCRIPTION:Join us on 23 April as we unveil our U=U Community Quilt. Drop in anytime\, RSVP is not required. However\, click here for event reminders. \nOver two years\, Positive East collected thousands of photographs submitted from around the world—from London to Sydney\, Gaborone to Sacramento—to celebrate the U=U message. These images come from people living proudly with an undetectable viral load\, as well as allies who support and champion U=U. The photographs are printed on fabric and arranged to form the powerful statement: U=U. \nAcross eight community stitching sessions\, 174 contributors dedicated more than 1\,200 hours of stitching to transform 4\,000 photographs into three expansive 6’ × 6’ quilt panels. Each individual stitch reflects the diversity and strength of our global community. \nThe U=U Community Quilt stands as a powerful reminder of the strength of our united voice—ensuring that every person remains central to the message of U=U. Each image amplifies this message thousands of times\, creating a collective statement that fully reveals itself only when all contributions are viewed together. \nThe U=U Community Quilt has been crafted with the same love and care as the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt. It allows us to reimagine the AIDS Quilt in the historic era of U=U\, while contributing to a growing and diverse archive of visual and artistic responses to HIV. \nWe hope that you will be able to join us for this very special evening. If you have any questions\, please email ian.montgomery@positiveeast.org.uk \nWhat is U=U? \nWe are in an era of tangible progress in the history of HIV\, with significant medical and scientific advancements evolving rapidly. The shadow that HIV once cast across our communities is beginning to lift. Notions of fear and grief are being replaced with hope and possibility. \nU=U is central to this progress. It means that if you are adhering to your HIV medication and have an undetectable viral load\, it is biologically impossible to pass the virus on sexually. This crucial message helps us break the cycle of HIV stigma and is central to our ambition to eliminate new HIV transmissions by 2030.
