Birmingham LGBT Community Trust has awarded £3750 in grants to local LGBT community groups in the city. Sixteen groups as diverse as Rainbow Voices and Moseley Shoals have benefited from the first awards made from the LGBT Community Fund. The fund was started with a donation from the Lesbian and Gay Pride Ball 2009.
Commenting on the awards, Community Development worker David Viney states ‘The Trust are pleased to have been able to share our donation from the Pride Ball amongst some of the many LGBT groups in the city. Many groups operate with no funding and we are sure these awards will provide a welcome boost, enabling them to continue the fantastic work they do in our community.’
Groups awarded a community grant are as follows: BGLAD, Moseley Shoals, Birmingham Blaze, Pink Sou’westers, Acting Out, Birmingham Parents Support Group, Brum Bi Fest, Out Central, aRTpRIDE, Alcohol Support Group, Older Lesbian Network, Outskirts, Rainbow Voices, Gay Pagans, Pink North Brum.
The Trust received £6050 from the Pride Ball 2009. The remainder of the donation will be used to support the LGBT Community Forum and other Trust projects.
