A loan of £20,000 from Brighton and Hove City Council, along with a commitment to pay by one of last year’s sponsors, meant that the potential budget shortfall was successfully bridged by the end of last year.

What we do

Pride in Brighton & Hove promotes equality and diversity, and advances education to eliminate discrimination against the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) community. It raises awareness of these issues by facilitating and promoting a series of events including Winter Pride and the annual free summer festival. It also fulfils its objectives by making grants and/or donations to other charitable and voluntary organisations. Our key objective is to develop an environment that promotes LGBT equality through creating and supporting events that celebrate LGBT lives.
