Who we are

Mission Statement

We are a grassroots organisation dedicated to efforts that nurture pride and unity within the BLGBT community in the UK, and to provide a happy, safe and supportive environment.

We aim to build a strong community through communication, transparency, accountability, positive visibility, and educational opportunities while facilitating and fostering relationships within the wider community.

Additionally, the Board of Directors believe that the BLGBT community need an annual forum where individually and collectively we can consider where we have been, where we are now and what direction we need to set.

Our Purpose

1. To educate, support, nurture and develop the BLGBT community.
2. To empower and give vision to the BLGBT community.
3. To work with the wider community to develop a sustainable, safe haven for BLGBT people.
4. Provide a place for BME gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, questioning, people and others to meet, gain information, and socialise.

What Is A Community Interest Company?

Community Interest Companies (CICS) are limited companies, with special additional features, created for the use of people who want to conduct a business or other activity for community benefit. This is achieved by a "community interest test" and "asset lock", which ensure that the CIC is established for community purposes and the assets and profits are dedicated to these purposes. Registration of a company as a CIC has to be approved by the Regulator who also has a continuing monitoring and enforcement role.
