Charles Street Tap fundraiser for the Brighton Rainbow Fund

In another sign that things are returning to normal after two years of lockdowns and restrictions, Chris Marshall, landlord at Charles Street Tap, is hosting his Birthday Party with the support of the cream of the cabaret scene, to raise vital funds for the Brighton Rainbow Fund to distribute to local LGBTQ+ and HIV projects. The Birthday Party kicks off on Sunday, September 4 at 6.30pm.

Chris Gull, chair of the Brighton Rainbow Fund, said: “It is so good to know that our brilliant local venues are able to get back to raising funds for the Brighton Rainbow Fund to distribute to all our local LGBTQ+ and HIV projects, and the hundreds of people within our community that they support.

“Our thanks go to Chris Marshall for organising this 13th Birthday Bash. Please take your phones with you, ready to ‘scan a barman’ or one of our volunteer bucket shakers. For those without cash (who carries cash nowadays?) there’s a handy QR code on the T-shirts, which allows you to donate £4 (less than the price of a pint) by text, when you’re getting a round in, and help Chris to celebrate his birthday by raising a record amount.”
