Crocus, originally called "the Croydon LGBT Network", is an umbrella organisation in Croydon, South London, set up to bring the various existing local LGBT organisations together and act as a voice for LGBT people in the Borough.
Crocus was initiated in 2007 by Croydon Voluntary Action (CVA), supported by:
- Aurora (Croydon's LGBT Police Consultation Group)
- CAGS (Croydon Area Gay Society)
- The Consortium of LGBT Voluntary and Community Organisations
- Croydon Trans Group (local transgender support group)
- Gemini (a former self-help support group for TG/TS people)
- GALOP (London's LGBT community safety charity)
Crocus was formally launched on 12 May 2008 at an event in Croydon Town Hall.[1]
Crocus to some extent took over the role that had previously been filled by the Croydon LGBT Forum.
