A lot has been written about Pride in Brighton & Hove recently, the event, the costs and the people behind it.

Unfortunately some of it is not accurate. Today we have posted a statement on the home page of our website which we hope will put the record straight and explain some of the reasons for the proposals that have been put forward.

The questions we have addressed are:
Why have you suggested changing the park?
Where is community and diversity in your proposals?
Why does Pride need paid staff and what do they cost?
What does Pride cost?
How does Pride pay for itself?
Why don’t you charge an entry fee?
Why did the bars lose money?
Do we owe any money/are we owed any money?
Is the fundraising appeal just paying for staff?
Which businesses support Pride?
Do the Pride Board benefit financially from Pride?
Who appoints the trustees?
Why are you consulting through a questionnaire?
What happens next?
 
Despite what you read anywhere else you will find the facts to all these questions on the Pride website homepage at:
