Are you feeling lonely due to Coronavirus lockdown or would you just like to see a few friendly faces for a chat and (hopefully) some laughs? Disability Arts Online will be hosting a weekly online social every Friday afternoon during the crisis using video conferencing app Zoom. You don’t have to download the application to use it (though it does work better if you do), you can simply join from your browser.

These socials don’t have an agenda they’re just a chance to meet with others and feel connected. Bring your favourite drink or snack (or whatever is left in the cupboard/fridge) and have a natter. Anyone is welcome to join, we just ask that you be respectful and courteous to others during the call (or you will be ejected!)

We will generally be limiting these get-togethers to the first dozen or so who turn up, in order to make it manageable. All participants will be asked to give their full name before entering the call.

To join the social please email [email protected] with your full name and just a few words about why you want to join the chat. We’ll then forward the link and password.

We can provide imperfect live captions but we would appreciate it if you can let us know beforehand if you need these, when emailing for the password.
