**Chris Gull, Chair of the Rainbow Fund said:** *“What a great result from Revenge’s World AIDS Day weekend fundraisers. A real example of LGBT+ Community fundraising, ensuring that venues don’t have to decide which local projects to support, because by entrusting the funds raised to The Rainbow Fund they can be sure that the money will be fairly distributed to volunteer led projects like Lunch Positive and Peer Action, making a real difference to the lives of local people living with HIV.*

*“The Rainbow Fund also maintain The AIDS memorial, and now The Hankie Quilt, to ensure that those that our community lost to AIDS, their stories, and the history of our communities are not forgotten.“Once again we thank the cabaret performers who give their time and talent so unstintingly, but also to the hardworking team of staff, managers and DJs who along with the entertainers donated their wages for the Sunday night fundraising event….thank you all so much for going “above and beyond.”*

The Rainbow Fund give grants to local LGBT/HIV groups who deliver effective front line services to LGBT+ people in Brighton and Hove.

In the most recent grants round in October, 2018, local groups received grants totalling **£146,481** from the Fund.

**These groups included:** Brighton & Hove Sea Serpents, Rainbow Families, My Genderation, MenTalkHealth, Peer Action, Older and Out, Longhill School LGBTU group, Marlborough CIC QTIPOC project, Sussex Beacon, The Rainbow Chorus, Lunch Positive, MindOut, Clare Project, Switchboard, Allsort Youth Project, The Brighton and Hove LGBT Community Safety Forum.
