I would like to thank the Rainbow Fund for awarding Brighton and Hove LGBT Switchboard a grant in this year’s awards to set up The Rainbow Café a new initiative for LGBT+ people living with dementia and their friends, families and carers.
This exciting new project will be up and running in early 2018 and will provide a vital service for those in our community living with memory loss or a diagnosis for dementia. For the Switchboard team it also gives us the opportunity to show that we are more than just a helpline.
We would also like to thank the Rainbow Fund and Chris Gull for organising the first LGBT & HIV Summit and bringing together all the LGBT+ groups together to talk about the work that we all do and look at creative ways that we can work together. It was a good day with lots of things to think about.
A final thank you must to be given to the Brighton Hilton Metropole Hotel for their hospitality at The Rainbow Awards ceremony and to Lola Lasagne and Zoe Lyons for giving up their time to compare.
For those interested in Switchboards Rainbow Café, please watch this space,
Many thanks,
Daniel Cheesman
on behalf of the Switchboard Team
