Deputy Mayor hands over £20,000 to three charities

The Deputy Mayor of Brighton & Hove, Bill Randall, hands over cheques to the three charities he supported during his year as Mayor, which ended May 2013.

The £20,000 raised will be divided equally between:

• The Allsorts Youth Project, which works with young LGTB people,
• The Brighton Women’s Centre, which has supported women in Brighton and Hove for more than 35 years
• The Martlets Hospice, which provides end of life care for more than 1,000 people every year.

Each charity received a cheque for £6,666.00

Councillor Randall, said:

“My thanks go to all the people and organisations who supported my fund raising work during the year. They displayed a generosity and community purpose which is typical of our extraordinary city. I would also like to thank the three charities, who worked so well together. I enjoyed working with them and seeing first hand the magnificent work they do for Brighton and Hove.”

Allsorts LGBT Youth Project provides a range of counselling and advice services for young LGBT people under 26, many of them vulnerable. It also raises awareness about LGBT issues in local schools, colleges and youth projects.

The services include 1:1 confidential support and sexual health advice. Allsorts recently launched a summer programme for LGBT under 16’s.
