**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
