Leathermen South raise £220 for Sussex Beacon

Leathermen South held what turned out to be an enormously successful Christmas party last weekend at iconic Brighton gay bar, The Bulldog.

For one very special night, last year's Mr Brighton Bear wowed the crowd, becoming a tantalisingly enigmatic Santa bearing an enormous sack of gifts, generously donated by Prowler and Nice 'n' Naughty.

The Sussex Beacon said on social media: "With donations being encouraged throughout the evening, we are delighted to announce almost £220 was raised for the Sussex Beacon.

"Many thanks to Carl Patrick, Steven Epsom, Lee Evans and Francisco Guillen, for their support and involvement. Our thanks also to Freddie, Brad and the rest of the crew at The Bulldog, for their really kind help and ongoing support. Warm thanks also to everyone who kindly and generously donated on the evening!"
