A new National Lottery Heritage Fund project, that will explore, research, and co-create a more contemporary and representative narrative of Portsmouth’s (and surrounding areas) LGBTQ+ heritage. Led by Y Services, in partnership with Portsmouth City Archives and Hampshire Cultural Trust, the project will: • Train young people and volunteers in heritage research skills • Record oral histories • Document the history and growth of Portsmouth Pride • Deliver exhibitions, events, and community learning We believe this project offers an exciting opportunity for local organisations, community centres, groups, and local residents to get involved.

We’re the Sustainable Conservation Trust (SCT) – a not-for-profit team of architects, artists, and placemakers reusing historic buildings through creative collaboration and technology. From forts and slaughterhouses to alleyways and pop-ups, we bring forgotten spaces back to life with community at the heart. Our base at the Old Pay Office in Historic Dockyard is a living lab for residencies, skills workshops, and test projects. We welcome creatives of all kinds to join us in reimagining heritage – as a platform, not a museum piece. If you’re a local maker, artist, designer, photographer, coder, or storyteller and think heritage is more than bricks and plaques – let’s talk.
