Moonbirds

This week our Saturday morning group will be starting off our May crafting weekends with making a queer zine. We will be chatting and working together, contributing thoughts and personal experiences in what queerness means to us. We will then hopefully be combining all these together into making our queer zine. There is no pressure to share or contribute anything you don’t want to. Everyone is welcome.

Please join us on Saturday 3rd May from 10:30am at The Coffee House, which is located in the Merseyway Shopping Centre, in the centre of Stockport, opposite Primark.

If you would like to come along, or would like to know more, then please message us. Feel free to message us if you are anxious about coming alone, or meeting new people.
