Brighton’s LGBQI music groups raise £1,812 for Lunch Positive.
The 2013 World Aid’s Day Concert: We All Live Together organised by Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus and featuring all the city’s LGBTQI music groups performing together, raised an amazing £1,812 for Lunch Positive, the HIV charity and lunch club who provide a healthy meal for positive men every Friday.
The We All Live Together Concert is an annual event with music, songs and mince pies (donated by the Co-Op supermarket) which took place on World AIDS Day at St Mary’s Church in Kemptown, Brighton. For the first time all of the local LGBTQI music groups (and a few of their friends) were able to take part including the Actually Gay Men’s Chorus, Actually Gay Women’s Chorus, Brighton Belles, Brighton Gay Men’s Chorus, Rainbow Chorus, Resound Male Voices, Qukelele and The Theatre Workshop. It was a magnificent event.
A cheque was officially handed over to Lunch Positive, the HIV charity and lunch club who provide a healthy meal for positive men each Friday, during their weekly lunch at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church by a number of representatives from the various music groups that took part in the concert on December 13.
Gary Pargeter from Lunch Positive, said: “A huge and heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in the concert. The ‘We All Live Together’ theme is incredibly relevant to our work at Lunch Positive, and especially poignant for World AIDS Day. Lunch Positive is all about being together, and the support this provides for one another. Knowing that members of our LGBT communities support us and help raise such valuable funds makes a massive difference.”
