Support U.K. asexual conferences
Donation protected
Hi everyone!
If you have been to the recent Asexuality Conference in London, or to the one in 2012, we really hope you have enjoyed it.
We would like to host conferences in the U.K. (not only in London) every year if possible, but so far they've mostly been funded privately and this isn't sustainable for the future.
Between offering free lunch and tea (don't we love cake?), hiring venues, buying leaflets, badges and other costs, on average the conferences have cost about £6000 each.
Raising awareness and education on the asexual spectrum is one of the most important and most exciting things our community does to help people of all ages not only learn about asexuality and, possibly, find out more about their own identity. Events like conferences can help us reach out to other communities (LGBT of course, but also academics, researchers, etc.).
In the future, if the funds make it possible, we would love to also invite more academics and make the conferences attractive to professionals from sectors where we know the community would like to improve relationships (such as healthcare). Some of these academics might need to be paid, and/or we might reimburse travel and accommodation for them.
This fundraiser will help cover the costs of the conference we've just held in London, and for future conferences across the U.K., and/or other events to raise awareness.
Please help with anything you can, and we hope to see you at the next conference!
