HIV charity Sussex Beacon receives £57,000 grant from National Lottery Community Fund
The Sussex Beacon, the charity specialising in care and support for people living with HIV, has been awarded a grant of £57,000 from the National Lottery Community Fund, which will enable the charity to continue to support their service users with frontline services during the coronavirus pandemic.
Bill Puddicombe, Chief Executive of the Sussex Beacon, said: ‘The Sussex Beacon is very grateful to receive this generous grant from the National Lottery Community Fund. It is a recognition that our services are more needed than ever during this period, with many of our service users needing greater levels of social and emotional support.
‘This is a very anxious time, especially for those who are already challenged by long term health conditions. This grant will allow us to strengthen our support at a time when other funding sources are unavailable to us.’
