Crocus in the news

News items about Crocus have appeared several times in the Croydon Guardian.

The Croydon Guardian article "Fighting hate crime with education" (about Aurora, Croydon's LGBT police consultation group) concluded:

This month a new network, named Crocus, will be launched in Croydon, which has been created to represent the gay community.

Councillor Simon Hall said: "I was approached by some members of the community who felt their local councillors might not be fully sympathetic or did not have the specialist knowledge to really help them.

"A councillor surgery is just the start. Crocus can continue to drive forward more initiatives that will benefit the community in Croydon."

Cllr Simon Hall, Secretary of Crocus, was featured in a Croydon Advertiser article, "New Addington councillor says being gay is no barrier to public life" in February 2009.
