First from the South East 17 May 2010 08:30 "[It was] International Day Against Homophobia and Transphobia (IDAHO) and to show our support we [held] a special event, in partnership with South Essex Homes, on the First Floor Foyer of the Civic Centre between 12:15pm – 2:00pm. The event included information on issues such as health and hate crime reporting and representatives from the Citizens Advice Bureau, Victim Support and a range of other organisations attended to provide information and advice.The event was open to all staff and members of the public. Staff were also invited to take part in ‘A Day in Hand’ photo, which aims to inspire and support same-sex couples who want to hold their partners’ hand in public. This took place outside the Civic Centre at 12:00pm."
