Peter Tatchell Director of Peter Tatchell Foundation, said: “BIG thanks to the @TheVillageMCC in Brighton for the £300 collection for the LGBT & human rights work of the @PT_Foundation GRATITUDE!”
Rev Michael Hydes, Senior Pastor of the Village MCC, added: “We were so grateful Peter was able to attend our Pride Service. His experience in the field of Human Rights is unparalleled. The Foundation is spread incredibly thin with all the varied issues it takes on and we are honoured to be able to help in this small way.”
