**Following Kate Nambiar’s welcome**, original poems were read by **Seb Causton**, **Elly Morris** and **Alice Denny** and community talks given by **EJ Scott** (Museum of Transology), **Eddy** from Tranformers, **Tyler Austen** and **Elly Morris**.

The Rainbow Chorus sang numbers including *True Colours*, *Sound of Silence*, *Feelin Groovy* and *Bridge Over Troubled Water* as those present placed the names of those killed in transphobic hate attacks on the sanctuary wall.

Following the closing address delivered by **Rev Heather Leake Date**, everyone present moved down to the first floor cafe area to share tea, coffee and enjoy the buffet prepared by Lunch Positive, the HIV lunch club.

The Convener of Brighton & Hove Greens, **Cllr Phelim MacCafferty** and **Sgt Peter Allan** the Trans Equality Advocate at Sussex Police were among officials present.
