In the UK, the first ever LGBT+ History Month began in February 2005 as a way to bring attention to LGBT people and their history, and has continued on since. The month-long celebration is full of different events, activities, and educational opportunities to help raise awareness about the civil rights of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender (LGBT) people and to bring LGBT+ people together to greater expand the community. The LGBT+ History Month charity works hard to get this history into the educational system, and a dedicated month aids the campaign.

From the 13th-19th June, Together TV is participating in Marmalade Trust's Loneliness Awareness Week by offering an easy task for you to do every day to lift someone up. Each of these tips is easy to do, but the difference they can make is unmeasurable. See how many people you can lift up this week!

LGBT+ History Month is every February and was started to give visibility to Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) people, their history, lives and their experiences through curriculum and the wider community. The LGBT+ History Month charity works hard to get this history into the educational system, and a dedicated month aids the campaign.

A new year is synonymous with making resolutions, however fresh beginnings and trying new things can be started at any time. January in the UK can be cold, limiting the hobbies you generally enjoy like gardening. If find yourself with more time on your hands craving that spark, we've got your next favourite hobby...

Now that the main event of this season has passed, many of us spend this final week looking forward to the new year. That is why our final theme of Christmas is Looking forward. Our other themes have been giving, connecting, reflecting and feasting.

Every week, we will explore another theme of Christmas starting with giving and connecting. Our third theme of Christmas is reflecting.

Many of us start pensively looking back over the year. Whether it’s because we’re reminded of our new year's resolutions or because we’re making plans and looking back at who has been dear to us.

Every week we’ll explore a theme of Christmas. The first theme was giving and included the chance for you to win our exclusive Christmas in a Box hamper. Our second theme of Christmas is connecting.

This festive period is special for many because it’s an opportunity to see and connect with people again. Who would you like to connect with this season? Here are some activities you can do to connect:

The joy cooking and cuisine can bring is immeasurable. The world of food and drink is vast and there are so many inspirational figures in the industry. For Together TV, the Hairy Bikers, Anthony Bourdain and Nadiya Hussain are staples on our TV channel, but there are many people off screen that have made their marks.

Here at Together TV, we aspire to encourage positive change in the lives of our viewers, for you to stay happier and healthier. And a happier life also means healthy relationships. In this blog you can find an assortment of resources for supporting healthy relationships with yourself and other people. These resources are specially collected for the viewers of our Sex Secrets series that run in the evenings on Together TV.
