Our core purpose is to develop the capacity of the local LGB community and to influence those organisations and services which affect the quality of life of its members. Birmingham Pride Community Trust seeks to reinvigorate the city's diverse lesbian, gay and bisexual communities through community engagement, advocacy and lobbying. We prioritise the promotion and development of services in Birmingham which meet the needs of gay men and lesbians who are younger, older and/or from Black and Asian backgrounds. We will also, proactively and reactively, share information and signpost individuals and organisations to other sources particularly where this will enable other organisations to contribute to the process of improving quality of life for the LGB community. There is much to celebrate about our community but there are challenges too! The lesbian and gay community is one of the least visible in Birmingham . One of the few tangible manifestations is the pubs and clubs in the Gay Village in and around Hurst Street . Birmingham Pride Community Trust is seeking to develop a community infrastructure beyond commercial venues with a community that has equality at it's heart, valuing our health, our social care needs, our legal rights and giving us a home across the whole city. Our current priority work areas are Health Social care and housing Homophobic bullying and education Gay village regeneration Events Forum Gay Birmingham Remembered |
