Sussex Beacon launches weekly service for clients living in Eastbourne and surrounding areas

The Sussex Beacon’s Community Service Team has launched a new weekly service for clients living in Eastbourne and surrounding areas.

Working in partnership with local LGBTQ+ charity Bourne Out LGBTQ+, the Sussex Beacon’s clients now have a safe space in Eastbourne to meet with caseworkers, for dedicated 1-2-1 appointments or to access an afternoon drop-in facility.

People living in and around Eastbourne can pop in for advice, meet their peers or simply enjoy a cup of tea and a natter. This service is now up and running, taking place in a discreet Eastbourne location every Wednesday.

The photo shows members of the Sussex Beacon's Community Services Team alongside staff from the Avenue House clinic and Mandy from Bourne Out, who provided a very warm welcome. Everyone took time out to enjoy a wonderful celebratory cake.

💡

For further information and to register for this service, e-mail Lucy at lucy.h@sussexbeacon.org.uk or call her on 01273 694 222 (ext. 232).
