Virtual Gathering
Notifications OFF
Hello Forum users,
We are reposting this as it was posted under a thread but want to ensure everyone see's the information below:
We’ve been really pleased to read the suggestions that have been made about organising a virtual gathering in light of the festive season. You are of course more than welcome to make private arrangements through the direct messaging service, however, please be cautious when sharing personal information.
Alternatively, we would like to offer our services in trying to help with this request. We may not be able to dedicate our time on the 13th of December, as has been suggested, but it could be possible to arrange something a little later in the month, before Christmas. To do so, we need to gather information on how many people are interested and what you may want this online meeting to look like.
So, if you are interested, please could you email us at forum@lucyfaithfull.org.uk , and let us know:
- That you would like to be considered for this
- What would you like from us? Would you want us to structure/ facilitate some conversations? -
- How much would you like us to be involved?
- Would you prefer an evening or daytime meeting?
- What measures can be put in place to help you feel safe and supported?
- And anything else you think needs to be considered
Please be aware, that if this is something you would like to take part in, then this would mean you would lose your anonymity to the foundation (although not to other forum users). This is vital in our responsibility to safeguard individuals when needed.
Please can users respond by Monday 11th December at 5pm for your response to be considered.
Kind Regards
The Forum Team

It is great to see this being facilitated. I've joined others organised by other people and one thing I felt comforting was knowing I didn't have to turn my camera on or use my own name.
One of the most powerful things I took away from meeting virtually and those I've connected with offline is just how normal we all sound and look. They could be my work colleagues or friends. We don't have that label on our heads that we think we carry around. Whilst nerve wracking, if you feel you can, I'd really recommend it. It made me feel human.

My email does not seem to be working.
I would like an evening meeting. Is there anyway if we are just messaging it is in real time, i suppose i am thinking on something like when a group message on whatsapp where everyone is messaging each other and a real thread of a conversation can be followed. I know we cant do whatsapp, this was just an example.
I think being facilitated by yourselves is a good idea as it may give people confidence to take part more than if it is just a member of this forum. X
