Reece Roberts, manager of Legends Hotel, hands over a cheque for £2,499.01 to Paul Elgood, chair of the Rainbow Fund, the proceeds of their all day cabaret fundraiser on Pride Sunday.

£1,499.01 was raised in the buckets and from the raffle and Tony Chapman personally donated a further£1,000 bringing the total to £2,499.01.

Paul Elgood said:

“Thanks to Tony Chapman and all the team at Legends for raising an amazing amount in one day. It was a great way to end Pride and make a difference to the local LGBT and HIV groups working in our community.

“Thanks also to the acts who gave up their time to perform and to the lovely Lola Lasagne for hosting the day so well.

“We don’t fundraise directly but rely on high profile events such as this to ensure that there’s enough money available for each of our grant rounds for local community groups to apply for.

“We need to keep raising money as the demand is always high from applicants for grant funding.”
