The Ledward Centre Cic

A centre for our community in the heart of Brighton From Anne Lister to Oscar Wilde, Brighton has been a draw to queer people for well over 200 years. And while some only pop down for the odd weekend, many more of us have fallen in love with the place so much that we have moved here for good. So many, in fact, that Brighton now has the highest proportion of LGBTQ+ households in the whole of the UK. Which is why we thought it was about time our community had its own centre. Named after James Ledward, one of the city’s most prominent supporters of LGBTQ+ rights, this new and exciting space will be a lasting tribute to his memory and the huge contribution he made to our entire community. From the building itself – light, modern and accessible – to the services and cultural activities for which it will be home – The Ledward Centre lives and breathes the values that make the full rainbow of Brighton’s LGBTQ+ communities so confident, vibrant and proud.
