The rebrand aims to attract new community members who may need help or support in the Nottingham area
Nottingham LGBT+ Network has relaunched with a brand new look after almost fifty years of serving the community. The network provides vital support and communication to the LGBT+ community through its website, phone lines and newsletter.
"CHE started in 1971 but back then, we only had two bars compared to today where you have all sorts of groups for football, transgender or young people. People latched on to it because it offered a lifeline and quite a few people had issues with their sexuality, problems at work, neighbours, the church and the list went on. So CHE set us up with a phone line once a week in 1975."
Over the years, the helpline grew until it was over five nights and experienced over 2000 contacts a year. People would also contact the helpline to find out what was happening around Nottingham. When homes started to have internet access, Notts LGBT+ Network moved online with a new website. Another vital part of what Notts LGBT+ Network offers is training to some of the area's biggest organisations including the police, fire and rescue, Boots and the universities. Training includes LGBT+ awareness in the workplace, supporting victims of hate crimes and local resources along with many other topics.
David said when it comes to proud moments there have been many over the long history of the network and it's all about having an effect on people's lives in the long run.
