To mark World AIDS Day on December 1, and to raise money for the Sussex Beacon, a local HIV/AIDS charity, Simon Kirby, is auctioning a copy of the Marriage (Same Sex Couples) Act 2013 signed by the three main party leaders, David Cameron, Ed Miliband, and Nick Clegg.

SIMON IS THE MP for Brighton Kemptown & Peacehaven and vice chair of the parliamentary group on HIV/AIDS.

All of the money raised from this auction will go to The Sussex Beacon, so that they can continue the work they do by offering specialist care and support for men, women and families affected by HIV.

The Sussex Beacon is open 365 days a year, and aims to support those living with HIV by addressing the physical, mental and social impact of the disease.

Simon said: “I have long been a supporter of this fantastic local charity, and I hope that this auction will raise much needed funds to help the Beacon continue its important work.

“This is also a wonderful opportunity to own an incredibly rare signed copy of the Equal Marriage Act, a piece of historic legislation which I am so proud to have played a part in making a reality.”
