Big Lotto Fund supports Newcastle LGBT Choir

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Besi

Northern Proud Voices, the North East’s largest and longest-running LGBT community choir, has been awarded almost £10,000 by the Big Lotto Fund.

Big Lotto Fund grants – from the UK National Lottery – are awarded to organisations in the UK to help improve their communities.

Singing out proud and flying the rainbow flag for lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans inclusivity, Northern Proud Voices are thrilled to have won their funding bid.

The award will part-fund a yearlong project promoting equality and diversity, raising awareness of LGBT issues, and encouraging others to join the singing community. The scheme will culminate with Northern Proud Voices representing the North East region at Hand in Hand 2017, a national LGBT choir festival to be held in Manchester.

Kathleen MacDonald, chairperson of Northern Proud Voices, said: “This grant means a huge amount to myself and our members, and we thank the Big Lotto Fund for showing us their support. It will allow us to reach out further into the community and continue to offer a welcoming and inclusive space for LGBT people and allies.

“Our plans for the grant include outreach to rural areas, special events for LGBT history month, and offering our current members musical workshops in the run up to Hand in Hand 2017. Most importantly, the grant will support our ongoing aim of combating homophobia, biphobia and transphobia.”

The choir was created in 2011 by a small group of singers. In 2016, it is now award-winning, has over 100 registered members, and performs annually at Pride celebrations across the North East and Cumbria.

Research shows communal singing improves both physical and mental health; helping with depression and loneliness, and increasing a sense of community and belonging – issues affecting many people, often those identifying as LGBT.

Choir member, Simon Smith, said: “Not only is the choir great fun but it helps change perceptions some people have of the LGBT community. I’m proud to be part of such a diverse group of people brought together by music.”

Northern Proud Voices rehearses every Thursday 7-9pm (excluding August) at The Mining Institute, Newcastle upon Tyne.

The choir can be found on Facebook and Twitter and welcomes new members, of all ability, at any time.

Community groups invited to bid for a grant to put Pride in our city

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Besi

For one weekend every year, the city is taken over by a sea of rainbows.

From the parade watched by tens of thousands through to the festival in Preston Park to the street party in St James’ Street, the whole city comes together to mark the LGBT celebration that is Brighton Pride, the largest annual event in the city’s calendar.

Community groups are invited to bid for money raised from the Pride Village Party to ensure that the positive message of Pride has an impact on areas of Brighton and Hove all year round.

Paul Kemp, director of Brighton and Hove Pride, said: “Community fundraising is central to the purpose of Pride in Brighton and Hove. On top of our record-breaking fundraising for the Rainbow Fund we are thrilled to be able to deliver small grants funding through the social impact fund to small grass-roots community organisations that can help deliver a positive community impact to the wider community. Pride are only able to deliver this fundraising with the help of local businesses who contribute to the fund and take part in the Pride village party.

“We’d like to encourage more local businesses across he City who benefit from the bumper weekend of business, Pride brings into the city, to get involved with our fundraising efforts for all our communities”

The Pride Social Impact Fund aims to support those groups or organisations which need a little helping hand in making a difference in their community.

They do not have to be LGBT related; they don’t even have to directly linked to Pride (although applicants directly impacted will be favoured).

However big or small, the only criteria is that it will brighten up people’s lives by the time Pride comes round again next year.

Funding comes from contributions made by businesses within the St James’s Street Party area.

The application process for this year’s fund is open now and bids will be considered by a panel made up of representatives from The Argus, BBC Sussex, Juice 107.2, Brighton and Hove Independent, Gscene, Latest magazine and Latest TV.

Launched in 2016, the inaugural awards saw more than £4,500 distributed to groups across the city.

web-600 — Friends of Preston Park Easter egg event

Among the groups to benefit last year were the Friends of Preston Park, who were awarded £1,000.

The majority of this went towards a new piece of playground equipment for the area while £250 helped put on an Easter Egg Hunt in the park for local children.

Sue Shepherd, chairman of the group, said: “We had around 300 children attend the event, even though the weather was variable. We were able to buy enough Cadbury’s creme eggs for every child to get a prize for completing the quiz, as well as a prize each for the two age categories in a drawing competition.

“The event enabled children and their parents to learn about the flora, fauna, history and architecture of our park while getting exercise and having fun.”

Another group to benefit was Brighton’s local community radio station Radio Reverb, which was awarded £500 towards creating a listen again facility.

Ellie Dobing, who sits on the board of directors, said: “The grant from the Pride Social Impact Fund went a long way to helping Radio Reverb move into a new era.

“The ‘Listen Again’ feature means we can offer our Brighton audience an ‘on demand’ service but also make our content available nationally, sitting alongside the likes of the BBC’s national on demand offerings.”

How to apply

The Social Impact Fund has been set up to provide small grants for communal good. Grants are awarded annually to organisations or groups within the city with particular emphasis on areas directly affected or in the footprint of Brighton and Hove Pride.

Submissions should be a maximum of 400 words mapping out how the money will be spent and why the cause is deserving. Please note the maximum award will be £1,000. There is no lower limit.

There is no restriction on ‎numbers of entries by individual groups.‎ However, the emphasis is on supporting community and grassroots groups, rather than individuals.

Submit by midday on November 30 by email to Bhsocialimpactfund@gmail.com.

Applications will be considered by a panel of local media representatives with successful applicants informed by the end of December.

Any money distributed needs to have had a visible outcome by the start of Pride 2017.

Have your say on possible changes to the Council Tax Reduction scheme

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Gary Hart

Residents are being consulted on possible changes to Brighton & Hove City Council’s Council Tax Reduction (CTR) scheme next year, as government funding reductions leave a multimillion pound shortfall.

CTR, which subsidises the amount that low-income working age households pay towards their Council Tax, is due to cost the council £15.7 million next year but the funding provided by the government will only be £11.6 million. This means there will be a shortfall of at least £4.1 million to pay for the scheme.

Under the draft scheme, the council would absorb around £3.8 million of this shortfall, and the possible changes are:

♦ To increase the amount that CTR goes down by for every extra £1 increase in the income a household receives (known as ‘the taper’) from 20p to 25p

♦ To set the maximum rate CTR will pay at 80% of Council Tax Band D

♦ To set the minimum amount of CTR to £5 per week, meaning that households entitled to CTR of less than £5 a week will pay the full amount of Council Tax

The possible changes to the scheme are in the context of rising costs and the loss of government funding, meaning the council needs to save another £44m over the next three years – on top of significant cuts over the last few years.

Councillor Les Hamilton, Deputy Chair (Financial) of the Policy, Resources & Growth Committee, said: “The budget pressures we face are challenging. We have to strike a balance between limiting the impact of the government’s funding reduction to support people with Council Tax on the most vulnerable households and the effect any increase in council funding has on the other vital services we provide. We will contact everyone who could be affected by the possible amendments to ask for their comments and welcome views from other residents in the city.”

There are national rules for pensioners but the council has to set its own rules for working age people.

Labour want Brighton to be the UK’s first ‘Fast-Track City’ to tackle HIV

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Besi

At full Council this Thursday, October 20, the Labour administration will be asking opposition parties to back an ambitious plan for tackling HIV in the city.

Labour wants the city to become the UK’s first Fast-Track City, by signing the Paris Declaration of November 1 2014, and so joining many other cities around the world from Lusaka to Melbourne to Rio.

Fast-Track Cities are a network of cities committed to achieving the 90:90:90 targets of 90% of people living with HIV being aware of their status, 90% of them being on antiretroviral treatment and 90% of those having undetectable viral loads.

At the same time, the Labour administration has been in discussions with the Martin Fisher Foundation to try to deliver an extra legacy for the city, in memory of Martin Fisher, whose work on HIV/AIDS is known internationally.

The Foundation wants to move the city Towards Zero – a massive ambition for the whole city in HIV prevention – to move towards zero new HIV infections, zero HIV related deaths and zero HIV stigma.

On Thursday at Council, Labour will be calling on everyone to show support for the Foundation, and to ask the Health and Wellbeing Board to consider the sustained action that might be taken to promote the Towards Zero campaign.

Cllr Daniel Yates, Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board, said: “We want to recognise how significant a step backing the Fast-Track Cities initiative on Thursday would be – for promoting health and wellbeing in the city, and for combatting discrimination wherever we find it. This is everyone’s community, and we need to battle for the prevention and treatment that is needed. At the same time, we want to honour the work of Martin Fisher, and would like to leave no stone unturned in moving “Towards Zero” – let’s say no to new HIV infections, no to HIV related deaths and no to HIV stigma.”

New gender diversity books in 2017

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Gary Hart

Jessica Kingsley Publishers (JKP’s) to launch new list of gender diversity books in January 2017.

JKP’s pioneering gender diversity list publishes personal stories and resources that encourage greater understanding of gender identity and gender expression.

From informative guides for professionals and parents, to children’s storybooks and books for the general reader, the publications provide support to a range of readers and promote wider discussion about the diversity and complexity of gender and identity.

The new books will include first person perspectives in Trans Voices – a comprehensive introduction to the challenges and prejudices faced by the transgender and non-binary communities, told in their own words; and Transitioning Together – the unique account of Wenn and Beatrice, a formerly same-sex couple, dealing with the experience of Wenn’s transition from female to male in later life.

Alongside these will be books for children, including Can I Tell You about Diversity?, the first illustrated guide to gender diversity intended to spark discussion in the classroom or family home, and Who Are You?, a colourful, interactive resource for younger children, that introduces gender as a spectrum.

Senior Commissioning Editor, Andrew James, said: “There is nothing new about gender diversity and yet so many are not well-informed of the lived realities of gender non-conforming people within families, education, the workplace and social settings. These books showcase ordinary, individual experiences and provide support and information that celebrates the rich diversity of gender identity and expression within society.”

Surrey Police launch animations to tell the story of CSE victims

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Gary Hart

Surrey Police have produced two videos to raise awareness of child sexual exploitation (CSE).

The videos show a teenager’s perspective of their experience of being groomed and ultimately forced in to sexual exploitation. The stories are based on elements of real cases from Surrey and have been animated to provide a unique style which seeks to resonate with a younger audience.

I trust him... he looks out for me — ‘I trust him… he looks out for me’

Over the coming weeks, the animations will be shared across social media channels alongside messaging that will promote confidence and empowerment to report concerns that a young person may have about their own experience or that of a friend encouraging them to “tell someone they trust” if they feel or recognise that something isn’t right.

Surrey Police have also produced a poster of a young female and male victim, featuring CSE warning signs. These posters are aimed at teachers and parents and those that come into contact with young people.

He said I'd do it if I loved him... — ‘He said I’d do it if I loved him…’

CSE is a type of sexual abuse in which children or young people under 18 receive ‘something’ such as food, accommodation, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes, affection, gifts, money, in return for sexual activity. It is understood to be a growing issue across the UK.

Detective Chief Inspector Ben Lee of Public Protection for Surrey Police, said: “Child sexual exploitation is perpetrated against young boys and girls regardless of their background. What makes it so difficult to tackle is that many young people who are being abused believe they are in a consensual relationship and do not recognise the true nature of their abusers.”

“We hope that these videos will help shine a light on grooming and empower young people to think and speak out if they have concerns. By raising awareness of the warning signs through these stories, we hope that more people will come forward with information to detect and prevent abuse.”

Brighton Gin celebrated at Parliamentary event

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Sarah Green

Hove MP, Peter Kyle, met with Helen Chesshire and Kathy Caton of Brighton Gin on Monday evening (October 17) at an event to celebrate the success of women in the Wine and Spirits industry in Parliament.

Tim Loughton MP and Flick Drummond MP brought together a showcase of spirits and wines produced by women here in the UK. The event celebrated the leading role of women in the wine and spirit industry.

Helen and Kathy formed Brighton Gin in 2013 and have recently moved to larger premises in Hove. They served gin and tonics and Rock Star cocktails which were in high demand amongst both MPs and industry professionals.

This unique local company have taken time to perfect their product and each bottle is finished personally. Brighton Gin, has had great success not only representing women but the South East as well.

Brighton Gin can be found in pubs, bars and shops from Brighton and Hove to Edinburgh. This company shows the best of what Brighton and Hove has to offer and captures the spirit of the area perfectly.

Peter says: “It was fantastic to see Brighton Gin in Parliament yesterday evening representing our local area in a celebration of the growing number of women leading the way in the wine and spirits industry here in the UK. Brilliant company, brilliant entrepreneurs, brilliant gin!”

Brighton marks ‘Hate Crime Awareness Week’ at Old Steine vigil

Posted on 18/10/201620/10/2016 by Besi

Despite appalling weather, the Solidarity Vigil went ahead on Saturday, October 15 on the Old Steine in Brighton marking International Day of Hope and Remembrance and bringing to a close Hate Crime Awareness Week.

The first International Day of Hope and Remembrance was launched at the London Vigil against Hate Crime which took place on October 30, 2009 following the death of Ian Baynham who was homophobically abused and beaten in Trafalgar Square.

Over the past seven years the third Saturday of October has been established as a day when people around the globe organise solidarity vigils and events to show support to those who have been affected by Hate Crime.

Speakers included the Mayor of Brighton & Hove, Cllr Pete West; Chair of the Neighbourhoods, Communities & Equalities Committee, Cllr Emma Daniel; Leader of the Conservative Group, Cllr Geoffrey Theobald; Convener of the Green Group, Cllr Phelim Mac Cafferty; Sussex Police Hate Crime & Trans Equality Advocate Sgt Peter Allan and Michael Hydes from the Village Community Church.

Brighton & Hove Council LGBT Community Safety Officer, Eric Page talked about the Self Evident Hate Crime Reporting App funded by the Sussex Police Crime Commissioners Office and Brighton & Hove Community Safety Manager Peter Wileman talked about the work of the Council’s Hate Crime Casework Team.

Caroline Lucas, Green MP for Brighton Pavilion was unable to attend and sent a message to be read out.

She said: “The International Day of Hope and Remembrance serves as an important reminder to us all about the impact of hate crime in our communities.

“We should never forget the sometimes unpalatable truths of events that have taken place. Even in a city so renowned for the celebration of its diversity, terrible hate crimes still happen. It’s our duty to unite and to learn from them, so that we can do our best to challenge discrimination, intolerance, and hate whenever we encounter it.

“We stand in solidarity with others around the world today; others refusing to be threatened by homophobia or transphobia. Others ready to confront racism; sexism; and discrimination in all its forms.

“I’ve said before, but I firmly believe, that whilst fear is a powerful weapon; there is strength in hope; and by uniting we can make a difference.

“Brighton and Hove is an amazing city. I have a huge sense of pride as the MP for Brighton Pavilion that it’s a city leading the way on understanding and acceptance.”

Peter Kyle the Labour MP for Hove & Portslade was out of the country and sent his apologies for not attending.

Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus brought the evening to a close with rousing renditions of One moment in time, Yes and You raise me up.

The event was organised by volunteers of the LGBT Community Safety Forum, hosted by its Chair, Billie Lewis, and hot drinks were provided by Lunch Positive the HIV Lunch Club.

CINEBRA – A History of Horror with Megan and Sophie

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Morgan Fabulous

Morgan Fabulous chats with Lydia L’Scabies and Rococo Chanel about their upcoming theatrically inspired production CINEBRA – A History of Horror.

A unique concept derived from both girls love of film and characterisation, the show is based on socially awkward movie buffs and lead characters Megan and Sophie. You can find them both on YouTube reviewing movies and getting up to mischief.

With Halloween fast approaching, their first stand alone live show is based on classic horror movies from the 1920’s. Both actors come from a theatrical and musical background, and have been on the Brighton scene for a few years now, performing at the notorious Powder Room and FOMO at Revenge and for the first time this year, Lydia was nominated in the Favourite Entertainer (Drag) Category at the Golden Handbag Awards.

The girls decided it was time that Brighton had a little more variety in its drag culture and came up with Megan and Sophie. The characters are based upon exaggerated parodies of teenage movie fanatics and geeks and together they form the duo CINEBRA. An amalgamation of the words Cinema and Bra, for obvious reasons.

Sophie, is just 17 years old and goes to college with Megan. She’s a celiac asthmatic who is allergic to most things, and really likes film history and the movie industry. She also likes big jumpers and her custom inhaler!

Whats your favourite movie Sophie?
Well you’d know that if you watched mine and Megan’s ‘MOVIE TAG’ series on our YouTube channel! Give it a watch, and don’t forget to like, share and subscribe!

What are your plans for the 29th?
Me and Megan feel very passionately about Horror Movies, so as it’s Halloween we’re delivering a performative seminar on the History of Horror!

What should people expect?
Original songs, laughs, a lot of learning and maybe even some scares and stuff, but don’t worry too much because we scare quite easily. If you ever feel nervous just keep telling yourself “It’s only a Seminar, It’s only a Seminar, It’s only a Seminar…”

Why CINEBRA?
We wanted something that sort of rhymed with Cinema and because we’re girls we thought CINEBRA would be funny. We rate movies in ‘Bras’ not ‘Stars’ because they’re just as irrelevant and supportive.

Megan is 17 years old also, artistic and fun-loving with a passion for make up. When she’s not at college doing her A-levels you can find her hanging out in H&M with her friends Abigail or Sophie, who she’s been best friends with since year 4 (IKR). At the moment they are focusing on running their YouTube channel CINEBRA because they really want to get noticed and share what they love with their new friends on the internet!!!

Whats your favourite movie Megan?
I always say the Disney classic The Little Mermaid, because it’s such a good story and I can really relate to Ariel because she’s really optimistic, ambitious and young like me (lol) and obviously the best Disney princess.

What can people expect from CINEBRA?
Like, I mean, obviously it’s near Halloween and it’s about spooky things, so expect to be SPOOKED!! There’s gonna be like blood and guts and poltergeists and loads of information and facts. We’ve been doing plenty of research to give you all the best knowledge on our favourite films!! I’ve been writing some really cool songs for it as well, we’re a bit nervous to sing in front of people but hopefully we will be really good.

Why CINEBRA?
CINEBRA, for me, means like a really good way to just showcase our talents, because in school people always thought we were weird, but now we’re in college we can really show the world what we’re made of. We’re strong, we’re fab, we’re CINEBRA!!! PS also I really want the YouTube channel to take off because Zoella earns £1.12 a minute and imagine what you could do with that.

CINEBRA was first performed as short sketches at Club Revenge during their appearances at the Powder Room which hosts the finest of Rupaul’s Drag Race Alumni and prides itself on being the most creatively motivated show in town and where each resident (Crystal Lubrikunt, Lydia L’Scabies, and Rococo Chanel) comes up with new material either inspired by the headline act, or drawing from current affairs, character icons and sometimes nostalgia!

With plenty of one liner’s, original songs and what I have been told, ‘a plot twist’, the show which is on Saturday, October 29, from 8pm – 11pm, at the Nightingale Rooms above the Grand Central pub close to Brighton Station, and I am assured it is not to be missed.

If you can’t wait until then to see what they have to offer check out their YouTube videos and social media accounts by searching for CINEBRA.

Event: CINEBRA

Where: The Nightingale Room, Grand Central, 29-30 Surrey St, Brighton

When: October 29

Time: 8pm

Cost: Tickets from £7

Big improvement in public attitudes toward LGBT+ people in Scotland

Posted on 18/10/2016 by Gary Hart

The proportion of people in Scotland who think that same-sex sexual relationships are always or mostly wrong has fallen to 18%, its lowest ever.

That’s according to the 2015 Scottish Social Attitudes Survey, published by the Scottish Government. Public opinion on this has changed very rapidly. Previous Scottish Social Attitudes Surveys found that in 2000, 48% thought that same-sex relationships were always or mostly wrong. By 2005 that had dropped to 40%, and in 2010 the figure was 27%.

The proportion of Scots who would be unhappy at a close relative forming a long-term same-sex relationship has also fallen fast, from 30% in 2010, to only 16% now.

Attitudes vary a great deal by age – only 3% of people under 30 would now be unhappy about this.

Hannah Pearson, Policy Coordinator at the Equality Network, said: “We very much welcome the continued increase in the majority of people in Scotland who respect and value equally their lesbian, gay and bisexual neighbours. Attitudes have changed very fast, and we think that’s in part due to the leadership shown by successive Scottish governments in promoting equality in the law. It’s also because a lot more people have come out. People are less likely to hold discriminatory attitudes if they have a friend or family member they know is lesbian, gay or bisexual. Only 15% of Scots now say they don’t know anyone lesbian or gay.”

Attitudes towards transgender people have also improved significantly in the past five years, but still have much further to go.

The proportion of Scots who would be unhappy if a close relative formed a long-term relationship with someone who has undergone gender reassignment has dropped from 49% in 2010, to 32% in 2015.

On this question, transgender people are still the group facing the most negative attitudes. More positively, only 13% of people under 30 would be unhappy about this. The proportion of Scots who felt that a transgender person would not be suitable to be a primary school teacher fell from 31% in 2010 to 20% in 2015.

James Morton, manager of the Scottish Transgender Alliance, said: “We are glad to see confirmation that prejudice towards trans people has fallen. Trans people remain the social group which the largest minority of people in the Social Attitudes Survey would be unhappy to see join their family. However, it is heartening to see much more positive views amongst younger people, and we look forward to the change in attitudes towards trans people continuing.”

Tim Hopkins, Equality Network Director, added: “In the Scottish LGBT Equality Report which we published last year, LGBT people identified negative social attitudes as a top issue. Although, as the Social Attitudes Survey shows, views towards the LGBTI community in Scotland have greatly improved over the years, many LGBTI people still face practical discrimination, and hate crime perpetrated by a small minority. More needs to be done to combat this”.
