BORC - Belfast Out Resource Centre - is having a workshop on Saturday 1st March from 10:30am - 3pm to generate ideas about Belfast's first and only LGBT Community Centre.
BORC has applied for £1.5 million funding from DSD's Modernisation Fund to purchase accommodation to house as many of the existing professional, social and recreational LGBT organisations. This building will also replace and enhance existing facilities such as Cathedral Buildings and The Rainbow Project’s premises.
We want you to tell us what you would like to see for the city and the greater Belfast area. Some of the organisations also have a province-wide remit; therefore, housing all of these organisations under the one roof will be more economical and aid partnership working, whilst increasing visibility.
Ideas that could be discussed might include a new logo, a new name, accommodation requirements, more professional volunteers, finances and vision. So it is vital that we get a good attendance on the day.
We need your input to build a better and more secure future for our diverse organisations and individuals. We look forward the hearing from you; this should be an interesting and stimulating day!
It would be helpful if we had an idea of numbers attending for catering purposes; please contact us by emailing tracy@coso.org.uk or phoning 02890 890 201.
