The lives of those lost to HIV/Aids were remembered at the 25th Anniversary World Aids Day Candlelit Vigil at the Brighton Aids Memorial yesterday, Sunday, December 1.
Representatives from the voluntary sector, council, police and politicians from all political parties read the name of those who had been lost to HIV/Aids over the last 25 years.
The event was staged with help of a grant of £1,985.00 from the Community Development Fund through the Communities First Queens Park Ward programme, awarded to Lunch Positive, the HIV charity who provide a weekly lunch club for people with HIV.
The funding was spent on improving wheelchair access to the event, signage and promoting the event.
Lunch Positive supports World AIDS Day events as a member of the Brighton & Hove World AIDS Day Partnership which is formed from a wide range of local charities and organisations which include the Sussex Ecumenical HIV Chaplaincy, Sussex Beacon, THT, CDO Sussex, Bear Patrol, Gscene Magazine, Peer Action, Brighton & Hove City Council Community Safety Team, The Sussex Ecumenical HIV Chaplaincy and AVERT.
