On Saturday Brighton Peace and Environment Centre celebrated its 25th anniversary.
I'm glad that (on and off) over the last 14 years I have had the chance to participate in this achievement. I've helped it move from the premises on Trafalgar Street (now Rainbow Books), to Gardner Street, to the Brighton and Hove Unemployed Workers Centre in Hollingdean, then on to its current home by Brighton Station. In reverse, the old BPEC van helped me move out of home for the first time.
Over this time it has found purpose and drive, and many lovely, lovely people have contributed their time to keeping it alive. An abbreviated history of the centre is given here.
May it still be around in another 25 years.
