Seeking emergency accommodation…

In June 2011, greenroom, Manchester’s iconic theatre for all things new, contemporary and experimental closed its doors for the final time. Beyond the loss of one of the Manchester‘s ‘hidden treasures’, there is also the story of the creative community it nurtured over the course of its existence, as a ‘home’ for artists, giving opportunities to literally thousands of young people looking to take their first steps into an often precarious career.

Ignite Liverpool have just announced some for the speakers for thier next event on the 15th September, at Leaf Tea Bar on Bold Street.

ONE NIGHT ONLY

An evening of celebration and fundraising for Urban Strawbery Lunch (USL) and St Luke’s (bombed out) Church

Friday 9^th September at St Luke’s from 6.30 pm.

USL have worked closely with the Fab Collective since 2009, when they held their first exhibition at St Luke’s. Since then they have returned for two more exhibitions, and been a major contributor to our Hollywood Homeless project.

This next meeting of Liverpool Cafe Scientifique will undoubtedly be very popular "Can hallucinogens and entactogens be good for your health?"

Under UK law, hallucinogenic drugs such as LSD and psilocybin (‘magic mushrooms) and entactogenic drugs such as MDMA (‘Ecstasy’) are illegal because they are deemed to have no therapeutic value and have, or are capable of having, harmful effects sufficient to constitute a social problem. Subsequently most information provided about drugs is negative in tone and concerns the dangers of use. Whilst it is clear that for some individuals and populations drug use has adverse outcomes, most drug users do not experience harm and even some of the most socially damaging drugs, such as heroin and cocaine, have legitimate medicinal uses.

TEdx is back - it was last here in 2009 but it is back this November.

If you have never been then think Ignite style talks but longer and more technology orientated usually.

Over the weekend of the 13^th – 14^th August, Liverpool city visitors are invited to enjoy a flurry of creativity as Thomas Steers Way in Liverpool ONE becomes a hub for arts, craft and music.Liverpool based organisation Open Culture is working with Liverpool ONE to transform Thomas Steers Way into an open-air arts, craft and musical boulevard with the Stalls in the City Arts & Craft Fair, coupled with piano performances as part of Tickle the Ivories Liverpool’s first ever piano festival.

Dates for the next Ignite Liverpool event have been announced.

The 15th September we see the upstaris at Leaf Cafe, Bold Street coming alive to talks that will enlighten and delight an expectant audience.

Members from the local voluntary and community sector groups are invited to this free social media advice session.

You'll get practical hands-on advice for putting social technology into action for your cause, to help you reach a wider audience and promote the good work you do.
