Events
We create friendly, safe spaces for dialogue around cultural matters that allow people to come together to share, listen, learn and ask questions.
Upcoming Events
Our events provide platforms to the unheard and misrepresented voices of marginalised groups, to share lived experiences, increase awareness and connect communities. Through working closely with Bristol's diverse communities, we're able to host a range of events representing multiple cultural experiences and a variety of important societal issues.

Let's Talk About ADHD
Dive into the world of ADHD with us on Saturday, 2nd December, from 2:00 PM to 6:00 PM at the Malcolm X Community Centre.
This casual yet informative gathering is designed for everyone - whether you have ADHD, know someone who does, or are just curious to learn more. Our expert speakers will share insights and personal stories, shedding light on both the challenges and strengths associated with ADHD. The event will feature an interactive panel discussion, spoken word performances, stand-up comedy, and an art exhibition.
We'll also provide information on support resources, diagnosis paths, and strategies for managing ADHD. This is a unique opportunity to connect with a supportive community, learn practical strategies, and embrace the diverse world of ADHD. Everyone is welcome, and we encourage educators, care workers, social workers, employers, and anyone interested in understanding ADHD to join us.
