World AIDS Day Comemmoration
Members of Mosaic LGBT+ Young Persons’ Trust are taking the lead in this year’s commemoration of World AIDS Day, hosting an evening of remembrance and reflection in partnership with AIDS Memory UK.
The event, taking place on Monday 1 December from 6.30 pm to 8.00 pm, will be generously hosted at the historic Fitzrovia Chapel — a site deeply intertwined with the history of those who lost their lives to HIV/AIDS-related illnesses, as it once served as a place of solace for patients at the former Middlesex Hospital.
The evening will feature poetry readings, music performances, and personal reflections delivered by members of the Trust. Guests will then join a symbolic walk to the nearby site selected for The AIDS Memorial in London, which will be realised in the coming years in a new public artwork by acclaimed artist Anya Gallaccio.
Everyone is welcome to attend, but advance booking is required to manage capacity.

If you are aged 18, you will not require parent or guardian consent.
If you are aged 17 or under, we’ll need your parent or guardian to consent to you joining.
Who is it open to?:
Residentials are open to all LGBT+ persons, no matter where you live. We even have participants joining us from abroad! It all adds to the beautiful - mosaic of experiences.

Clothes Swap
Our next quarterly Clothes Swap will be on Sunday 7th December at 3pm!
If you have clothes you no longer need, or if you'd like to pick up something new at no cost, join us for our quarterly Young Queers' Clothes Swap! Browse, connect, and enjoy an afternoon in the company of other Queers all while helping to reduce clothing waste.
If anything you bring isn't snapped up we will happily donate it to a charity on your behalf. Otherwise, you're welcome to donate them yourself or take them back.
You can bring along as much or as little clothing as you like. There is no minimum nor maximum.
You don't actually have to bring anything at all as we will have plenty of donations from corporate partners to supplement the swap. YES, you read it right - we will have a lot of brand-new clothing alongside the swap items.

Safety & Belonging in our Camden
We are delighted to announce that our ‘Safety and Belonging in Camden’ project was selected as a winner of Camden Rise’s Youth Safety Multi-Media Competition 2024!
In October 2024, Mosaic LGBT+ Young Person’s Trust joined up with Publica CIC to explore feelings of safety and belonging with our young persons’ club members at our centre in Camden.
Using the four creative techniques of Street Tagging, Collective Mapping, Model Making and Manifesto Writing, our LGBT+ young persons explored what (and where) feels safe, accessible, and inclusive in the area, and laid out their vision for a Camden where all young persons are free to be their true, unfiltered selves.
You can read the full project report and watch our young persons present their manifesto below.
