An evening of performance, speeches and collective celebration, championing community, solidarity and intersectional activism.

Impulse London and Flux UK are coming together to bring you We Rise. Hosted by Brandy X, the evening will feature guest speaker Shy London, a musical performance from Joey and The Hot Tub Boys, and a free raffle led by Charlie Craggs. Further performers and programme announcements will be shared soon!

This event is an opportunity to reflect on just how far we’ve come in the HIV response, recognise the people and movements that made that progress possible, and confront the inequalities and challenges that remain.

While advances in HIV treatment and prevention have transformed countless lives, progress is far from guaranteed. International HIV financing fell sharply in 2025, putting vital prevention, testing and community-led services at risk. UNAIDS warns that the global HIV response faces a critical moment, making solidarity and collective action more important than ever.

Through performance and conversation, we’ll celebrate our shared history, amplify the voices continuing to fight for change and ask an important question: Who do we turn up for now?

Trans and non-binary community survey

FLUX wants to hear from you! Take a few minutes to complete their survey and help them shape future workshops, training and opportunities that reflect the needs, experiences and aspirations of our trans and non-binary community. You’ll need to complete the FLUX UK survey to enter the free raffle on the night

Please note: Photography will be taking place throughout the event to capture the evening. Images may be used across the event organisers’ communications and social media channels.
