**Romany sculptured** the iconic Brighton Aids Memorial, *Tay* in 2009 following a public competition.

**He said:** *“It has been a privilege to be a trustee for so many years. The Board has faced many challenges over the years, and I have been fortunate to work with hardworking and motivated fellow trustees. I would in particular like to thank Simon Dowe, Chief Executive for his dedication and inspirational leadership over the last four years”*

**Simon Dowe CEO The Sussex Beacon, added:** *“I would like to thank Romany for his hard work, support and commitment over the years to The Sussex Beacon. He has contributed to the development of The Beacon and played a key role in raising awareness of the organisation and HIV in Brighton. Romany’s enthusiasm and energy will be missed and it is good to know that he will still be a supporter of the charity.”*

The local sculptor and artist is looking forward to spending more time on his art work and will be undertaking exhibitions in America, Australia and Portugal.
