Braved the cold tonight for the vigil for The Vivienne at St George’s Hall.

It was such a moving event, with some beautifully poignant speeches celebrating The Vivienne’s life and impact.

Well done to @johnmhyland.bsky.social and @sahirhouse.bsky.social for organising the vigil.

I have passed my probation at Sahir House and now they can’t get rid of me. 🤣

A huge thank you to the team, but also to every single person that I’ve had the chance to chat to!

It’s been an honour.

Now to rest & recuperate over the holidays, and go into 2025, Sahir’s 40th year, full steam ahead!

This is so lovely, thank you so much @meapride.bsky.social!

I watch your progress with bated breath.
A massive happy birthday to @johnmhyland.bsky.social, a massive inspiration and one of the main driving forces behind MEA Pride, even if he’s now back in Liverpool.

John’s election to MEA council was a huge turning point to local politics. We’re so proud of him and his work for Sahir. 🏳️‍🌈

For my birthday, I’d love if you all gave Sahir House a good pounding & set a monthly donation of £1 to Liverpool’s oldest LGBTQ+ & HIV charity.

Head to Sahir.org.uk, click donate at the top and follow the instructions!

Lovely trip for sushi and Panto last night.

Shakespeare North Playhouse’s local take on a follow up to Alice in Wonderland was very different, but great interaction for the kids!

Today was fun - we managed to get a group of 9 runners who raised money for @sahirhouse.bsky.social for today’s Liverpool Santa Dash.

We’ve raised over £3,000 which is incredible!

Thank you to everyone who has supported Liverpool’s oldest LGBTQ+ & HIV charity!

I went from one extreme to the other today, with meetings in the Wirral.

It genuinely felt like I’d transported back to Northern Ireland!

Does anybody else get the urge to just watch late 90s, early 00s Attitude Era WWE?

Just for the nostalgia trip?

Just me?

Lovely bit of downtime with a couple of my @sahirhouse.bsky.social colleagues today at Flight Club Liverpool.

Making sure we all have a balance in life is incredibly important!

The positives of being a gay man in the city…

The gay mince helping you get to a meeting the other side of the city centre on time when you’d likely be 10 min late. 👀🤣

Don’t you love when you have a positive and productive day.

I hope this continues in other areas!

Today, we come together to remember our trans siblings who have left us far too soon - largely through being victim to violence.

We invite anyone affected to reach out & speak to our specialised service practitioners, or join our Gender Proud peer support group.

Fun fact:

I ran for election to Northern Ireland local council in 2023…

And was compared to the 1990s The Rock.

I’ll take it.

It is astonishing to witness…

Or is it? 👀

I just hope it’s a sign of positivity to come. 😶

The weather kept many away, but today’s Transgender Day of Remembrance Vigil in Liverpool was beautiful and poignant as always.

We remember all trans siblings who have sadly past on 20th November, #TDOR, as well as every day.
