Spaces 

I produce, facilitate and hold spaces where people can gather, network, organise, create  and heal. These spaces can be in-person, online or a mix of the two.  Below are my current spaces.

Creative Practitioner with Bradford 2025 (City of Culture)

Throughout 2025 I worked as a Creative Practitioner for Bradford 2025 City Of Culture ‘Our Patch’ community programme. This Bradford area wide initiative is about taking free creativity in so many formats into our community centres, faith settings, libraries, social hubs and more. 

I’m really pleased to be continuing some of this work through to March 2026

My garden 

In the past my garden has been a space to host creative public events including being part of Saltaire Arts Trail, Saltaire Festival Open Gardens and exhibition space for friends. 

2026 is going to be a time for some redesign in the garden and I’ll be taking a break from participating in these events. 

Creative Zone art journaling

Creative Zone Art Journaling Workshops are a free, friendly and relaxed space for people who identify as LGBTQ+ to connect with others and get creative. 

Creative Zone events are especially designed with the needs of disabled and neurodivergent queer people in mind.

In January and February 2026 Creative Zone will be online only. To get the Zoom link drop me an email 

Shipley Green Drinks 

Shipley Green Drinks is an Informal and friendly social networking event for climate solutions, on the 3rd Thursday of each month from 5-7 at The Dandelion Cafe Shipley, BD183HU 

Each month, along with some semi-structured networking time there is a talk, workshop or facilitated discussion about an issue relating to climate solutions.  The Dandelion Cafe sell their regular menu of delicious food and drink for Green Drinks attendees to order.

I facilitate Death Cafe training and facilitation  in a diverse range of settings - in recent times these have included,  Leeds City Museum, online with Equity Partnership a Bradford based  LGBTQ+ organisation, Hyde Park Sources, a community garden and as part of research and development for Displace Yourself Theatre, a Bradford based arts organisation
