Since 2008 I have lived in Eastbourne having moved down from London to join my partner. I have been on the committee of Bourneout since the start believing that it is important for the LGBT community here to have a voice and be a point of contact for statutory bodies and voluntary organisations.
My external involvements have been attending an Older Peoples Engagement Day, helping updating the 'Forward From 50' booklet I have also undergone training as an advocate with 'Victim Support' for anyone needing advice and help.
