The Sussex Beacon is set to become the UK’s first hospice specialized for LGBT individuals, prioritizing HIV care and inclusivity. Originally founded to provide care for those suffering from AIDS-related illnesses, the hospice is expanding its services to all community members, regardless of HIV status. Advances in HIV treatment have allowed the facility to support a broader range of needs. The initiative aims to return support to the LGBTQ+ community that helped establish the Beacon, reinforcing a commitment to inclusivity and compassion in care.
The Sussex Beacon has announced it is to become the only hospice in the country providing a dedicated service to the LGBT community, with a specialist focus on HIV care.
It was originally founded to offer care in a safe, accepting space for people dying with AIDS-related illnesses.
Thanks to advances in HIV treatment, our focus has moved to ensure that people across local communities are getting the help and support they need.
The LGBTQ+ community built The Beacon, and now we will be giving it back, stronger and more inclusive than ever.
