**DANNY asked friends** attending not to buy birthday presents or give him cards but rather to make a donation to his JustGiving Fundraising page to raise money for the counselling service at MindOut, the LGBT Mental Health Service, which raised £1,465.

A further £741.95 was raised from a raffle for the Rainbow Fund, who give grants to local LGBT/HIV organisations providing effective front line services to LGBT+ people in the Brighton & Hove.

The Mayor of Brighton & Hove, **Cllr Dee Simson**, was in attendance and entertainment was provided by **Dave the Bear**, **Davina Sparkle** and **Jennie Castell** who hosted the evening.

**Danny said:** *“It was a truly magical night with a wonderful group of friends. I arrange the party every year not only for myself, but for everyone to relax, smile, enjoy, catch up and engage with friends old and new in a safe and friendly environment. I can only but thank everyone for supporting me and my chosen charities.”*

Since Danny started Bear Patrol in May 2008, they have together raised a total of **£193,472.23** for local good causes. They hope to push the figure over £200.00\. after this years Hibernation Community Luncheon on Sunday, October 21 at the Old Ship Hotel.
