Birmingham LGBT centre will be moving to a new location in 2025. The move is currently scheduled to take place in April.
Why do we need to move?
There are development plans for the area where we are currently located, and the landlord is looking to sell the building. When we last extended our lease they only agreed a short term lease which has now ended which will mean the probable demolition of the current building and surrounding buildings at some point. As a result of the insecurity of our current tenancy we have partnered with a property developer who is building a brand new purpose built LGBT centre.
Where are we moving to?
The building we are moving to is going to be brand new and is well into its construction and is taking shape nicely. The new premises will be based in the heart of the LGBTQ+ village on Hurst St. See building plan adjacent, please ask a staff member for more details on the new building if you would like to know.
How will our services be affected?
Our sexual health and other support services will continue to be offered in the same way as they are now after we have moved.
There will two brand new clinical rooms for sexual health services. There will also be a dedicated cafe space which we hope to be able to open as a coffee shop. There is also space for community and peer groups to meet.
We would like to hear your views and thoughts on this move.
Your feedback matters greatly to us and we would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to tell us how you currently use our centre or services and tell us any thoughts or opinions.
