Remembering Geoff Hardy Message from Peter Thank you so much for all the caring messages of love and support. I am sure you appreciate that the last few weeks have been a difficult time and, in fact the last 3 years have been pretty hard. I wanted to let you know that, whilst I am planning a small private burial for Geoff, I appreciate that some of you would you like to commemorate his life in some way and hope that I have found a happy balance. Some friends have offered to put together a commemorative book and if you would like to contribute any words, picture and memories to this it would be lovely for us to collect those together. If you would like to make a donation in Geoff’s name I have chosen two charities close to his heart: The Peter Tatchell Foundation and Shropshire Supports Refugees (details of both are at the end of this message). I am also planning a gathering on Sunday 8th September 2024 at The Hive in Shrewsbury for those of you who would like to come together to remember and celebrate Geoff’s life. I have not worked out all the details yet but the book will be on display and I have set up an Eventbrite page so that you can arrange to come along, should you wish - https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/remembering-geoff-tickets-912598224857 (please let me know if you cannot use the link). Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts, I really really appreciate them With love Peter Peter Tatchell Foundation (which seeks to promote and protect the human rights of individuals, communities and nations, in the UK and internationally). https://www.petertatchellfoundation.org/donate/ Shropshire Supports Refugees (which co-ordinates a range of activities that help refugees settle in to their new area, improve well-being, and fulfil goals for themselves and their children). https://www.shropshiresupportsrefugees.org/donations (fb)

Hey folks, you are missing some great conversations hosted by our friends at SAND! If you are LGBT+ over 50 and live (at least some of the time) in Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin you still have chance to grab an online seat at one of the 2 remaining 40 minute discussions happening every weekday evening this week - or to rock up at a Face-to-Face coffee morning 8 June (Shrewsbury) or 7 July (Bishops Castle).
