3 places in U.K. you should visit for National LGBT Centre Awareness Day

Every October 19, National LGBT Centre Awareness Day is celebrated. This day was inaugurated in order to bring awareness to the importance of centres to the LGBT Community and its movement. LGBT Centres are essential because they provide free and accessible community services to their members.

The LGBT Community remains to be one of the marginalized communities in the UK. Your show of support for one of its centres dedicated to helping members of the LGBTQIA+ community is the best way to celebrate National LGBT Centre Awareness Day.

Here are the top 3 places you can visit to show your support for the LGBTQIA+ community today.

Brighton & Hove

Commonly known as the unofficial LGBT capital of Britain, Brighton & Hove offers an abundant amount of services catered to the community. Some of the well-known services they offer are the Allsorts Youth Project, the Brighton & Hove LGBT Switchboard, and the Sussex Beacon. They also host UK's biggest pride festival, Brighton Pride, which is held every year in early August.

Brighton & Hove offers a variety of attractions and events like their "'Best of Brighton Walking Tour," which contains over "480 years of Brighton ancestry." It's a great way to find out how they became one of the most LGBT-friendly places in the UK. Sign up for this free event through their website today!
