We warmly thank Westminster City Council, through the Community Contribution Fund, and Westminster City Archives for supporting this Westminster Creative Social. Their support helps us keep the event free and accessible to everyone. We’re delighted to offer a small buffet and drinks for everyone to enjoy. At the end of each event, Forum members are also welcome to take home a food bag — nothing goes to waste, and it’s our way of saying thank you for being part of the community!
Enjoy wine, snacks and refreshments throughout the evening as you listen, learn and connect with lovely people in a welcoming space.
Lorenzo Belenguer is the Westminster Creative Social founder and curator for the Westminster LGBT+ Forum.
We also keep spaces for Forum members who can attend at the last minute. Also you can RSVP to wlgbtcf@gmail.com if you prefer rather than using the Outsavvy booking system.
