**The event is at the Jubilee Library** in central Brighton on Tuesday, February 11, from 5-7pm.

It has been organised by Brighton & Hove City Council’s fostering and adoption teams, and timed to tie in with a series of cultural events at the library during February to mark national LGBT Month.

Cllr Sue Shanks

The chair of the council’s children and young people committee, Councillor Sue Shanks sits on the city’s adoption panel.

**She said:** *“We welcome interest in fostering and adoption from all sections of the community.*

*“Our focus is on the needs of the children we look after who have had a very difficult start in life.*

*“From our point of view it’s really simple – if you think you could offer a child a loving and supportive home then we’d really like to talk to you.”*
