Count Me In Too! is a partnership between Spectrum (LGBT Community Forum) and the University of Brighton, supported by Brighton & Sussex Community Knowledge Exchange and the South East Coastal Communities Project.

During the summer of 2006 the Count Me In Too project gathered information about the needs, views and experiences of lesbian, gay, bisexual and trans people (LGBT people) who live, work, socialise or use services in Brighton & Hove.

With the assistance of REALBrighton.com, the project used an online questionnaire to gather information about diverse aspects of the lives and experiences of Brighton & Hove’s estimated 35,000 LGBT residents and those who socialise, work or use services in the city.

Count Me In Too builds on the award-winning 'Count Me In' survey carried out in 2000, which lead to a five year LGBT Community Strategy 2001-2006 that was actioned by the council, PCT and other local service providers and LGBT groups.
