Sunday Assembly London is a FREE twice-monthly community event featuring expert speakers, massaoke-style singalongs, poetry and a chance to chat over tea with like-minded local people. Our community seeks to tackle the loneliness endemic by bringing people together and encouraging everyone to practice our values: Live Better, Help Often and Wonder More. It's a great way to meet people and make friends, where you can learn something new, have a cathartic pressure-free singalong and find opportunities for volunteering or group activities across. If you're musical, you can even join our community band!
On Sunday July 5th from 10.45am, we are proud to present our featured Pride and Disability Pride speakers:
How can poetry enable representation for marginalised people? Where do bodywonky, neurospicy types fit into a community that often prizes physical looks and sexual performance? This London Pride weekend and Disability Pride Month, join us to find out.
JP Seabright is a queer disabled author who explores gender, sexuality and disability through poetry, prose and experimental forms. As co-editor and organiser of the Arts Council-funded project eff-able, alongside our guest poet George Parker, JP helps to spotlight the intimate lives and erotic experiences of disabled, chronically ill, d/Deaf and neurodivergent members of the queer community – helping more of us to know their voices.
George, co-creator of eff-able, is the nominee and winner of multiple awards, bringing their first-hand experience to today’s celebration of queer disabled lives.
