Posted on: October 18th, 2010 by History Month

>The North East Wales Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender Foundation Drop-in Centre will be officially opened at Ty AVOW, 21 Egerton Street, Wrexham, by the Mayor Mr. James A Kelly, KSG on Wednesday 27th October 2010 at 11.00 for 11.30a.m. The Centre seeks to provide information and support, training and a variety of other services to LGBT people across North East Wales and will be open Monday to Friday 10.30am-3.30pm.

Keith Drury, Founder and Chair said “What started off as a Diners Club ten years ago in Wrexham has now developed into an organisation which seeks to support LGBT people across the whole of North East Wales. Managed by a management committee, the Foundation exists to support and assist those in our communities who need us, to promote independence, better quality of life, acceptance, affirmation, and a sense of belonging in the wider community. We also seek to support parents, families and friends of LGBT people”.

All are welcome to join in the celebrations at the official launch.
