Since launching our events we have regularly included panel discussions and workshops in our events calendar to aid our growth as a community together. The experience shared at these panels and workshops is done so voluntarily as in keeping with grass roots organising. If you feel you have experience or skills you think would benefit the community and you would like to give to the cause, please get in touch!
