Community Works LGBT Group Meeting

Community Works is the local community and voluntary sector influencing organisation offering advice and support to all voluntary sector groups.

Community Works wants voluntary and community action to have the greatest possible impact on people in Brighton and Hove and they put in place the support and networks that make it happen.

Gary Pargeter from Lunch Positive and Chris Cooke from Kemp Town in Bloom were recently elected Volunteer LGBT Community Representatives with Community Works. They are inviting all local LGBT groups and organisations to a short meeting to talk about their role as community reps, find out what support they need, how peer support can be developed and to start helping LGBT voluntary groups have a voice in local strategy and decision making.

Gary Pargeter volunteer project manager at Lunch Positive, said: “Community Works (formerly CVSF) has been invaluable to our organisation and to the people we help. It has provided training, advice, support and hugely useful opportunities to meet other groups where we’ve found and shared support. Our LGBT groups do so much great work.  It would be amazing if we could all get to know each another better, find out what’s needed and also find more ways to support one another.”

If you’re a local LGBT organisation, no matter what your size or your work, go along to this meeting which is being hosted as part of the LGBT Community Safety Forum on Saturday, March 1 at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church, Dorset Gardens, Brighton.

Community Works Reps will take up the first part of the meeting from 1-2 pm and refreshments will be provided.
