Brighton & Hove LGBT Switchboard sends thanks to Waitrose Hove and Lush Brighton for donating items to the charity’s free care packages

Brighton & Hove LGBT Switchboard has sent thanks to Waitrose Hove and Lush Brighton for donating items such as toiletries and period products to the charity’s free care packages, which they give to any LGBTQ+ person who needs one.

The charity said on Facebook: “When we distribute the packages, we prioritise people who are disabled; people who have no recourse to public funds; queer, trans, and intersex, black, indigenous, people of colour; people experiencing homelessness; and people fleeing unsafe homes.

“We really appreciate Waitrose Hove and Lush Brighton’s kindness and generosity. We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without their support.”

If you’d like to donate items, email info@switchboard.org.uk
