Things are changing at *Working to Connect (WTC)*, the organisation that supports and represents smaller LGBT+ and HIV groups in Brighton & Hove.It’s time to build on all the work achieved during the last five years and to move forwards creating an even stronger voice for the many volunteer-led groups in the city who do great work in many different ways to enrich our varied LGBT+ communities.The WTC network connects a wide range of groups and organisations who can share resources, support each others initiatives and events, offer peer support and information, represent the needs of smaller LBGT+/HIV groups to funders and decision makers and promote and advocate on equality and diversity issues. Working together they collectively have a stronger voice.Following the AGM last month a new Committee was elected with **Finola Brophy** (Rainbow Chorus/Older and Out) as Chair, **SJ Ramage** (MCC Brighton) as Treasurer, **Tyler Austen** (LGBT GEEKS) as Social Media and Website Officer, **Viv Woodcock-Downey** (BLAGSS) as Secretary and **Stephanie Scott** (Brighton Bothways) assisting the Chair.Previous Chair, **Gary Pargeter** (Lunch Positive), stood down and was thanked for his brilliant work establishing and leading WTC and **Billie Lewis** (LGBT Community Safety Forum) stood down from his sterling work as Treasurer.
