The Quest Mosaic are gatherings where Black, Asian and other Racialised Minority gay, bi & queer men come together to connect, share experiences and build community.
Each session has a different theme as the focal point, with attendees participating in small breakout groups to muse, reflect and respond to some questions posed by the facilitators.
Each gathering is self-contained, so there is no need to have been to previous sessions.
The sessions are free to attend. They are funded by the Inclusive Recovery Fund, along with their partners, Comic Relief and the Department for Digital, Culture, Media Sport (DCMS).
