Birmingham LGBT agrees new premises

Birmingham LGBT, a registered charity working with the city’s LGBTQ+ community, has agreed on a relocation to a new home in the Southside District.

The new premises, part of a new development on Lower Essex Street, in the heart of Birmingham’s LGBTQ+ village, will “occupy more than 5,000 sq ft in a ground-floor commercial unit facing a new public square, which will link Hurst Street with Lower Essex Street.”

Steph Keeble, director of Birmingham LGBT, said: “Southside has been the home of the centre for years. However, with the lease on our offices coming to an end, and the building potentially being redeveloped, we needed to look for new premises.

“As a charity delivering services to the LGBTQ+ community, we really want to stay in Southside as it’s important we are located within the community. The new purpose-built centre in Lower Essex Street will mean our future in the area is secure.”
