Bear’s picnic in Queens Park

**Hundreds of Bears** descended on Brighton & Hove over the weekend for the annual *Brighton Bear Weekender*. A series of planned events took place in 112 Church Street, Subline, Legends and the Camelford Arms. The *Come to Daddy* night at Envy was a huge success.

On Saturday, the hottest day of the year to date, Bears gathered in Queens Park for a *Teddy Bears Picnic and* HIV charity *Lunch Positive* provided a pop up community cafe serving delicious salads and cakes.

The *Brighton Bear Weekender* is a fundraiser for the Rainbow Fund who through their independent grants programme distributes money raised locally to LGBT and HIV organisations who provide front line services to the LGBT community.

**Paul Elgood**, Chairman of the Rainbow Fund congratulated the Brighton Bear Weekend organisers.

**He said:**

> *“The Bears Weekend has been a tremendous success, raising vital funds for the Rainbow Fund. I’d like to thank the organisers for their hard work in putting the weekend together. They are a fantastic team and a pleasure to work with.*  
>  
> *“The Rainbow Fund doesn’t raise funds directly but works with a number of high profile community events and venues to create a fund which can then be used across the community, distributed on a needs-led basis for frontline services.”*
