THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE Hurst street...
Birmingham LGBT Centre is moving on up! A brand-new centre for our award winning LGBTQ+ charity.
Summer 2025 sees exciting changes for Birmingham LGBT, the largest LGBTQ+ support service in the Midlands. After 12 years in our current site on Holloway Circus, our award-winning charity is moving to a brand-new centre in the heart of the gay village.
The purpose-built space, on Hurst Street, is just 10 minutes’ walk from New Street station and set within the bustle of Birmingham’s lively gay scene. Along with clinical and consultation spaces, the new centre will have hireable meeting rooms and a large café and events area, all situated on the ground floor and fully accessible.
Birmingham LGBT was established in 2002 with the aim of providing for the needs of our diverse LGBTQ+ community outside of a one-day Pride festival. The current centre opened its doors in 2013 as the first LGBTQ+ Health & Wellbeing Centre in the UK. Â
Fast forward 12 years and we’ve grown from a team of 2 to 26, offering a range of services including sexual health testing and outreach, older peoples support, a domestic violence service, counselling, substance support, youth work and wellbeing support. We’re also the home of Shout, a queer arts and cultural programme that creates spaces for creativity, connection and development. We also run peer support groups and provides meeting spaces for LGBTQ+ community groups.Â
 Steph Keeble, Director of Birmingham LGBT says “I am really excited to bring the LGBTQ+ community in the city a new purpose-built LGBT centre in the heart of the Gay Village and can’t wait for people to see the new space, it looks amazing”
Our new centre is delivered through Outpost Management’s joint venture with BlackRock Real Estate, in partnership with The Galliard Apsley Partnership. The centre forms part of Outpost’s Lower Essex Street development in Birmingham’s Gay Village. Â
Outpost Management Operations Director Laura-Jayne Canneman says “We’re absolutely delighted to welcome the new LGBT centre to Enclave: Birmingham City. At Enclave, we’re all about creating spaces where everyone feels respected, included, and able to be themselves. This new headquarters is a brilliant addition to the city and we’re proud to play a part in supporting Birmingham’s diverse and vibrant community.”
