Description

In the run up to Pride Month we are running a pre-Pride prep party!

Haircutting

11:00-15:00 in community corner.

Do you feel apprehensive going to a salon/barbers? Do you feel uncomfortable going somewhere that only cuts ‘womans’ hair or ‘gents’ hair? Have you asked for a certain cut – but had it cut to what they think your genders hair 'should' be rather than what you asked for?

Well come to our inclusive pop up where you can get a free hair cut. If you can – donate to a LGBTQ+ charity in exchange for the cut.

Hair cuts will be walk-in on the day appointments, so come early to avoid disappointment as spaces are limited.

DJ workshop and crafts

12:-00-14:00 in the SU café and shared space.

DJ Elley Phunk is going to be here playing some Queer bangers – she'll also teach you how to DJ.

Inclusive Pride flag and fan crafts to take part in.

There will also be a chance to find out about the Gender Expression Fund.
