A big thank you to all those who came to the London Vitiligo Meetup yesterday and a big thank you to Dr Mahto for presenting and taking questions. Inspired some great debate and it was really good to hear all the experiences with different treatments.
Keep your eyes peeled for the next meetup in London later this year!
I’m incredibly excited to announce that we have a date, time and location for the London Vitiligo Meetup:
When: Saturday 20th of February 2016
Where: Mezzanine room, Waterloo Action Centre
Time: 12.30pm – 3.30pm
Guest speaker: Dr Anjali Mahto
In an effort to get people with Vitiligo in London connected, making friends and supporting each other, I’m subsiding the cost of renting the room and equipment. I’m asking for absolutely nothing in return (no fee, no donations) expect that everyone makes an extra special effort to come! As I’ve mentioned previously, I really hope this gives you all the opportunity to network with others that are dealing with condition, or those that have loved ones dealing with it. Everyone is welcome!
I’ve chosen a location right next to Waterloo Station to make it easier to get to for most in London and even for those that may be travelling from further afield. There is also a very loose agenda, I’ll probably do a short intro to kick things off at 12.45pm and Dr Mahto will follow with 45 mins on current Vitiligo treatments and the future. I’ve seen Dr Mahto present before and she is fantastic, I’m so grateful that she has agreed to come and talk. I’m sure she will also be willing to have a Q&A for you to ask any questions.
Following this, take as much time as you need to meet with others and chat. I’m excited to meet all of you, and if we have a successful turnout, I would definitely plan to run another in the second half of the year!
It’s bring your own refreshments and for directions to Waterloo Action Centre, please see this map
I’ll follow up if I’ve missed anything out, but please don’t hesitate to contact me for any reason at all.
Looking forward to seeing you all at the meetup! 🙂
I recently reached out to a UK Charity called the Vitiligo Society to inform them I was working to create a meetup in London. Yesterday, I met with two of the Trustees for an initial conversation on how we could potentially partner to increase Vitiligo awareness and support in the UK. There could be some exciting things coming up, so watch this space!
Coincidentally, as I was discussing the idea of a group meetup in London, they informed me of a Vitiligo Open Day they are hosting on the 31st of October.
I’ve received quite a few emails from people that are dealing with Vitiligo that are based in London and the surrounding areas so I’d thought I offer a group meet up. The location would probably be somewhere in Central London.
