Drag Queen Required For Event In Southampton - 16^th August 2024

I work for a secure Mental Health Hospital in Southampton.
We are hoping to celebrate Pride and help our students accept themselves for who they are.
Not who their family or society wants them to be.
Our students are aged between 14-18years old and suffer with significant mental health difficulties.
This has led to them being detained under the mental health act.
A vast majority of our students belong to the LGBTQ+ community however, the level of confidence they have in themselves often leads them to hide this or worse, be ashamed of it. It has also led to family members disowning them, causing further distress.

This is important to our staff, as equally they are our students. Our students are incredibly vulnerable, and we try our best every day to make them feel safe and valued, but they seem to have a fear of society.
It would be lovely for someone to come and show them that society does accept them regardless of who they are, who they want to be and who they love. Beyond that, it would be amazing if someone could show them how important it is to love themselves and give them just a little self-worth because for some, they have none.

We want to bring some joy to our students in the form of a fabulous Drag Queen who can perform and possibly give our students a boost in confidence as well. We would be hoping to do this 16th August 2024, but we can be flexible on dates if this is not suitable for you.
