A major new LGBTQ+ community hub opened its doors this week, with the ONE Centre in Gateshead launching amid disturbing statistics which show hate crime is on the rise. Peter Darrant, the CEO of OUT North East, the LGBTQ+ charity behind the project believes there has never been more of a need for such a centre, the only of its kind in the region, which will provide a safe and welcoming environment while offering an array of activities and services at a time when statistics show a steep increase in transphobia and homophobia.
