Civic management
The LGBTI Centre is a municipal service provided by Barcelona City Council and managed by the Platform of LGBTI Organisations of Catalonia. The Platform is an umbrella group for most leading organisations in the fight for LGBTI rights, including long-standing Catalan associations that have been active for 40 years and more.
Thanks to this innovative management model, the LGBTI Centre benefits from the expertise accumulated by these organisations in providing direct assistance to LGBTI people from different sectors of the population and in different areas of action. The management model also enables the involvement of the large volunteer base mobilised by the Platform.
The main governing body at the Centre is the Council. The Councillor’s Office for Feminism and LGBTI, Eixample District Council, the Municipal LGBTI Council, the Centre’s management team, people who work at the Centre and its users, both organisations and individuals, are all represented on this Council. The Centre’s Monitoring Commission also meets periodically, while various sectorial working groups implement particular services or programmes.
