02 Activities

What the charity does

Brighton Ourstory is about collecting memories and telling stories. We keep safe the family albums of our communities and document the way generations of gay people have survived and thrived in a hostile world, living alongside heterosexuals and gradually producing the degree of tolerance we see today. We are able to give a limited amount of assistance to researchers.
