The Together! 2012 free festival of Disability Arts, Culture and Human Rights concludes with an end-of-festival party from 6.30-10pm on Tuesday 18 December at the Hub, 123 Star Lane, London E16 4PZ. Live entertainment comes from Mik Scarlet, Penny Pepper, Angry Fish and Marcus Barr, with an Open Mike slot too. The event also offers another opportunity to see our exhibition of work by 45 locally based disabled artists (continuing until 8 January 2013). ALL ARE WELCOME, disabled or not — we'd love to see you there!  

LGBT disabled people, their partners, families, friends, PAs and support workers are also invited to an LGBTea Party (held jointly with Regard) from 3-6pm on Sunday 16 December at Vicarage Lane Community Centre, Govier Close, E15 4HW. Refreshments and entertainment will be provided. 

IN OTHER NEWS, we've added more photographs of our Disability History Month activities to our website, including the poems written during our Poetry Week. Still to come is the film we made during last week's low budget filmmaking workshop with Gary Thomas (funded by Channel 4). Breakdown in Communication is about the barriers facing Deaf job seekers, which will be just the first of our Together! Talking Point films. 

In 2013 we'll be setting up a new organisation to take our work forward, including continuing to run an annual festival in Disability History Month.
