RadioReverb, ‘The Sound of Your City’, is set to celebrate **Brighton & Hove Pride** with **Pride on Air 2020** on **Saturday, August 1** from **8am** on 97.2FM, DAB+ or via [their website](http://www.radioreverb.com/?ref=scenemag.co.uk).

Bringing together Brighton’s diverse and inspirational LGBTQ+ community, this full day of programmes is dedicated to all things Pride and all money raised on the day will be split between RadioReverb and the **Brighton Rainbow Fund**, who give grants to local LGBTQ+/HIV organisations who deliver effective frontline services to LGBTQ+ people in the city.

Members of the community have the chance to appear on air by sending voice recordings of their Pride stories. Some questions to get you started: What does Pride mean to you? How are you celebrating Pride this year? What is your favourite memory of Pride? For the chance to be broadcast to Brighton & Hove, simply record yourself on WhatsApp or any voice recording app and email it to [office@radioreverb.com](mailto:office@radioreverb.com) before **Thursday, July 30** with the subject line *PRIDE STORIES*. No swearing please!

From **8am** on **Saturday, August 1** till **2am** on the morning of **Sunday, August 2**, RadioReverb will be highlighting LGBTQ+ voices and stories throughout the day with a mix of music and speech from RadioReverb’s broadcasting talent, including:

- *Sapphist Inspiration*: poetry, skits, monologues and recordings of sapphic women from history by the **Sapphic Voices** team;
- Producer of *HIV Hour*, **Josh Sharp**, joins forces with the **Brighton Bear Weekend** for a series of interviews and mini mixes from DJs **Rob C**, **Neil Borrett** and Josh himself;
- Interviews with leading LGBTQ+ organisations with RadioReverb director and host of the Politics Show, **Geoffrey Bowden**;
- *Ear Candy* with a look at the virtual drag show *CULT: A Magical Pride*;
- Music to soundtrack your day from **English Disco Lovers**, and live programmes from **Ears Wide Open** and **Slipstreem Worldwide Beats**;
- More programmes TBC.

Chris Gull, Chairman of Brighton Rainbow Fund, said: *‘Wow! How brilliant that RadioReverb is raising funds for us to distribute to local LGBTQ+ and HIV projects as grants to ensure that their work can continue. This is a tough year for all charities and organisations, and we’re so grateful to all the RadioReverb listeners for your generosity. We promise that every penny will be spent.’*

**Ben Noble**, a Director at RadioReverb, added: *‘RadioReverb has always had close connections with the city’s LGBTQ+ community as part of our mission to give a platform to under-represented voices. Sadly, the lockdown this year is likely to mean a substantial drop in funding for the Brighton Rainbow Fund, which distributes grants to local LGBTQ+ charities and community groups. This fundraiser is our way of giving support back to the community, amplifying their stories as we showcase some of our talented LGBTQ+ presenters.’*
