LETTER TO EDITOR: Well done and thank you, LGBT Community Safety Forum

February 21, 2018

We would like to offer our thanks to all the people, volunteers each and every one of them, who give their time to support, work at and deliver such an excellent space for LGBT History Month.

We held our Celebrating Strong Sisterhood event in the warmth and superb comfort of the Phil Star Pavilion last night. Billy Lewis and his team are astonishing with their level of commitment and professional standards to everything they do.

The venue is superb, lit, heated, a bar, some of the cleanest and most accessible toilets in the city and pretty stylish too with chandeliers and padded red velvet and golden chairs!

They all work so hard, and they all worked so hard last night on making our event a lovely addition to the LGBT History Month events in the city.

It would have been hard to find a venue of the same high standard elsewhere in the city and the LGBT Community Safety Forum (LGBT CSF) should be commended for their amazing work in making the B RIGHT ON Festival happen again this year. It was outstanding value and fitted our needs exactly.

We’d encourage every LGBT+ person in the city, and other staff networks, to go and support the festival or just pop in for a coffee, glass of wine or chat, there’s some superb events on for the next two weeks during the day and evening. We felt cherished and everyone who came along was impressed with the space.

Well done LGBT CST volunteers and Steering Group, you are a model of the very best our LGBT+ communities have to offer, and you make us proud!

Thank you

The Brighton & Hove City Council
LGBT Workers Forum
