Infrastructure
Introduction
This Infrastructure Project is a 'by and for' project that is run by and for BRM/BME community groups and organisations . The aim is to build robust support for existing vibrant BRM/BME community organisations to grow and thrive in the city.
Several BRM/BME community group and voluntary sector organisations (with the support of Brighton and Hove City Council) have been working for two years to develop infrastructure support, leading to its launch in January 2025.
Free training and network events
The next BME infrastructure network event takes place on 21st of May from 6pm to 8:30 in the conference room at community base (more details to add)
