The Brighton Our Story Project: £1,000
The Brighton & Hove Lesbian Film Club: £850.
The Justin Campaign: £750
Gay Elderly Mens Society (GEMS): £500.
Chair of the panel, Cllr Paul Elgood, said:
“We received an encouraging number of requests for grants from this first grants round. We were able to make grants to every group who applied except one. I would like to thank the Sussex Community Foundation for their help in independently accessing the applications and providing such fantastic support to the process. I would also like to thank all the LGBT business who are fundraising for us and supporting the aims and objectives of the Rainbow Fund.”
