The money was raised by Miss Jason and members of Bear-Patrol abseiling from the top of the Spinnaker Tower in Portsmouth in May (£3,419.90) and from a quiz night at the Camelford Arms (£181.70).
The money will be distributed in the Rainbow Fund’s Autumn grants round.

Support independent LGBTQ+ journalism
Scene was founded in Brighton in 1993, at a time when news stories about Pride protests were considered radical. Since then, Scene has remained proudly independent, building a platform for queer voices. Every subscription helps us to report on the stories that matter to LGBTQ+ people across the UK and beyond.
Your support funds our journalists and contributes to Pride Community Foundation’s grant-making and policy work.
