Community groups, charities and sports clubs are among dozens of organisations to benefit from more than £45,000 of grants gifted under the banner of the Brighton Pride Social Impact Fund (SIF).
Community groups and good causes across the city are invited to bid for grants to put ‘Pride in our city.’ For one weekend every year, hundreds of thousands of people flock to Brighton and Hove to mark the LGBT celebration, which is Brighton Pride, one of the biggest Prides in the UK.
A dance school for vulnerable women, a sports club for older people and children playing in one of the city’s biggest parks are among those to benefit from a total of more than £4,000 of grants. The money was raised from the tens of thousands of people who turned the city into a carnival of colour last August for the annual LGBT celebration.
Community groups are being invited to bid for a grant to put Pride in our city. For one weekend every year, the city is taken over by a sea of rainbows. The message is clear: whoever you are, wherever you’re from, whatever you do; it does not matter.
