Thank you from the Rainbow Fund

June 9, 2014

Rainbow Fund

“I am writing on behalf of the Rainbow Fund to publicly thank our supporters for their recent donations.

“May saw an all-star cast come together at Legends for the spectular Bobby Davro cabaret evening. Much time and effort was put into arranging the event by Lee Tracey, for which we are very grateful.

George Montague, the ‘oldest gay in the village’ is kindly supporting the fund through the publication of his memoirs. He is one of the real characters of our community and it is so good of him to think of us. Robyn Rainbow also pledged support from her Artists Open House, which is also great of her.

“The Brighton Bear Weekenders are gearing-up for another annual bear-fest later this month. They have again supported us via the ‘Saints & Sinners’ night at Subline. We wish the guys all the best for this year’s event, it has become one of the best weekends of the year.

“The LGBT Community Safety Forum kindly held a street collection for us at the IDAHOBIT event in May. Thank you.

“Charles Childs and the team at Doctor Brightons are supporting the Rainbow Fund throughout the year, and again we are grateful for their ongoing fundraising for us.

“If I have missed anyone, I will write again next month, but thank you to each of these for helping to fund our summer grants round. Finally, of course, all this has meant a busy time for our volunteers, again to whom I am grateful. If anyone thinks there is no such thing as community anymore, just take a look at what happens here in Brighton & Hove.”

Paul Elgood: Chairman of the Rainbow Fund
