WHO WE ARE
Welcome to Bourne this Way.
We are an LGBTQ+ Parent support group based in Eastbourne, East Sussex. We aim to provide a non-judgmental, friendly, inclusive space open to ALL LGBTQ+ parents and their children, as well as prospective parents.
This is a non-profit organisation and we have recently become a CIC, Community Interest Company.
The group aims to bring people together within the community, to offer support, share advice and promote well-being for those wishing to embark on starting a family or individuals and couples that have children already and would like to spend time with people who have shared similar experiences.
A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER
I started this community group due to the direct and indirect discrimination I went through as a gay woman and wanted to create a safe space for the community to support them through their journey to and during parenthood.
In addition to this BTW community group, I also run the Safe Spaces project.

THE SAFE SPACES PROJECT
A Safe Space is a place where LGBT+ people can feel safe, welcome and supported.
If your establishment is a Safe Space, it means that people of all genders and sexualities can feel relaxed and protected. Safe Spaces are vital as being out in public can often be dangerous and debilitating for LGBT+ people.
Being a Safe Space means that you are committed to implementing policies that meet the needs that LGBT+ people have when visiting your place of business.
