Kindred to host first ever TogethernessFest
For Loneliness Awareness Week (12th June), Kindred – the events, restaurant and co-working space in Hammersmith – is hosting its first ever TogethernessFest. Open to all, Kindred is aiming to bring together the local community and provide an antidote to isolation.
A staggering 700,000 Londoners admit to feeling lonely ‘always’ or ‘most of the time’, so in partnership with West London Queer Project, London Writer’s Salon and the Head of TED, TogethernessFest will feature a series of talks, workshops and even club nights in Kindred among other activities to get people talking about the typically taboo topic of loneliness.
Kindred was founded by Anna Anderson, recently recognised in CODE Hospitality’s 30 under 30 list, who hopes to inspire authentic human interactions in a shared space for work, talks and events.
In keeping with Anna’s original ambitions, Kindred’s TogethernessFest will run from 12th to 17th June with a variety of ticketed events available.
