National award winning Chaplin’s Wine Bar — http://www.chaplins-bar.co.uk/ — has signed up with great enthusiasm to join the Ask for Clive campaign, through invitation by the LGB&T Dorset Equality Network. This sign up by Chaplin’s, and really welcome.
Network lead Alan Mercel-Sanca has worked for a number of years on diverse communities initiatives with Chaplin’s Wine Bar owner Harry Seccombe, and when Alan contacted Harry at the suggestion of Coastal BID on this important opportunity, the response was swift and a big YES!

Mr Seccombe noted that Chaplin’s and our team are Proud to be welcoming to everyone, and that many of our local Boscombe & Bournemouth area LGBT community members are regular and warmly welcomed visitors at our venue (that includes fantastic music performances by for example local based renowned Trans community members), and we have in place for some years now the type of thorough safety supporting and reporting mechanisms that the Network insists on, and Ask for Clive is clearly taking such effective national level mobilising to achieve with the support of those like Alan and the LGB&T Dorset Equality Network. Well Done to Ask for Clive for their great work!

Until the Network was connected with AfC, the Bournemouth, Dorset, Poole, Christchurch area was showing up in England as a major ‘black hole non-response bubble’ (with the honorable exception of Weymouth BID): the sign up by Chaplin’s is therefore, as a national award winning pub/bar & outstanding music venue, coming on top of other sign ups (such as Bournemouth & Poole College) secured by the Network.
