A bookshop conversation. A drawing-and-coffee afternoon. A short neighbourhood walk. If you enjoy bringing people together, we would like to hear about the thoughtful, manageable gathering you have in mind.

01 /

Begin with one simple idea

Describe what people would do together, who it is suitable for, and why you would enjoy hosting it. A clear hour around one activity is a useful starting point. You do not need an elaborate programme, a large venue, or a claim that your event will transform anyone’s life.

02 /

Think through the practicalities

Tell us your city or time zone, the proposed format, a realistic group size, and any venue or cost considerations. Public, accessible locations are preferred for in-person meetings. Online gatherings should have a clear joining process and expectations about recording and privacy.

03 /

Make participation comfortable

Explain the activity before people agree to join. Offer a way to pass on questions, set a clear end time, and be prepared to handle unwelcome behaviour. A social host should not present themselves as a therapist or other regulated professional unless appropriately qualified and acting within that role.

04 /

Send the outline

Choose “Hosting a gathering” on the contact form and share a brief proposal. We review enquiries before discussing any collaboration. Submitting an idea does not create a partnership, approve an event, or authorise use of the Tangerine Fax name. Any arrangement would be agreed separately.

A QUESTION TO TAKE WITH YOU

If you had one table, one hour, and a few curious people, what would you invite them to do?
