Social networking group, 'The Bear Patrol' has raised a grand total of £17,002.29 from all their fundraising work throughout 2011 for The Sussex Beacon.

Kat Williams, CEO of The Beacon presented members and friends of 'The Bear Patrol' with a special certificate in recognition of their fantastic achievement at a reception at The Beacon, on February 6.

Juley Ayres, fundraising and communications manager, said:
“The Sussex Beacon is fortunate to have so many friends and supporters in our community who work so tirelessly on our behalf. The Bear Patrol are a great example of how people can join together and find fun, sociable and creative ways of raising funds as well as supporting each other as friends”

“We are so grateful for their support, particularly as we face a considerable fundraising challenge and fight to save our Inpatient Unit. To raise this sum is really an incredible achievement.”
 
The Bear Patrol was founded by Danny Dwyer who created the group in order to bring people together, to enable them to meet friends in a happy environment free from attitude and stigma. The group share their social skills, contacts and bags of enthusiasm to raise funds for The Sussex Beacon.

Members of The Bear Patrol have joined team Beacon to run the Brighton half Marathon to raise funds for The Sussex Beacon.
