Gay Worcester website was founded in 1999, back then a
very small amount of information was available online
to LGBT people in Worcestershire, This encouraged us to do something about it.
Our early web pages were hosted by UKF (ISP) and we were limited to 20Mb
storage, The site itself was basic but had some useful information inside it.
Since then Gay Worcester has gathered it's strength, resources and now offers a
multitude of information and direct links for the LGBT community in
Worcestershire, forging partnerships with organizations to help make a
difference to the local community.
In 2007 we made some major improvements and alterations to our website structure
including changing our hosting company to DivisionX, a London based internet
hosting company which has enabled us to expand the online services we offer.
Their clients include: Sony, Liverpool FC, ITV, Argos and many more. *Big thanks
to ATA at DivisionX for his help and support*
