What does allyship mean to you?
And when do we move from being a bystander to taking meaningful action?
Join us for an interactive workshop exploring allyship and active bystander skills — what they mean, why they matter, and practical ways we can support others in everyday situations. 💬
Together, we’ll explore:
✨ What being an ally really looks like
✨ How to recognise moments where action matters
✨ Practical ways to safely support others
✨ Building confidence to speak up and step in
Sunday 7th June - 10am-1pm, The Loft Studio
Tickets are free but limited. Head to our website or tap link in bio! 🎟

Today, on International Transgender Day of Visibility, we celebrate and stand with trans people here in Folkestone and across the world. 💙🤍🩷
Our community is stronger, kinder, and more vibrant because of its diversity - and that includes our trans friends, neighbours, and loved ones. Visibility matters in every town, including ours. It’s about making sure everyone feels safe, seen, and supported right here at home.
To all trans people in our town and beyond: you are valid, you are valued, and you belong. 🏳️⚧️✨
