Chris Gull, Chair of the Rainbow Fund, said: “In the last two years this event has raised over £7000 for The Rainbow Fund to distribute as grants to support local LGBT+ and HIV projects that make a difference to the lives of so many in our LGBT+ communities. 

“We are in awe of the performers who give up their time, again and again, to provide a whole afternoon and evening of quality, fun, outrageous entertainment, and we remain immensely grateful to each and every one of them.
“Our Independent Grants Panel assesses all applications for funding, and the progress of each project is monitored regularly to ensure that the money raised through the commitment of time and talent by these performers is used in the most transparent and productive way.”
The Rainbow Fund give grants to LGBT/HIV organisations who provide effective front line services to LGBT+ people in Brighton and Hove.
