Volunteering at Brighton Bear Weekend

Brighton Bear Weekend (BBW) held its first 2019 Volunteer Party at the Black Horse pub in Church Street on March 4.

VOLUNTEERS battled the elements to meet the BBW team and sign up to help at events over the Big Bear Weekend from June 13-16.

Putting on an all-weekend event is a huge task and there is always a need for more people to get involved and be part of the event crew!

There are lots of roles to fill – everything from fundraising, visitor management, helping at club nights to building the stage in Dorset Gardens.

Volunteering is huge fun, and also a great way to meet new people, make new friends and help our communities, so do get in touch and be at the heart of the Brighton Bear party.

The BBW team want to thank all those that showed up on the night, as well as Andy Tull and his team at the Black Horse for putting on such a great spread.

There is, of course, a serious side to everything the BBW team do – and that is to raise money for Brighton’s Rainbow Fund.

BBW are proud to support this wonderful grant-giving charity, which gives grants to local LGBT+/HIV organisations across Brighton & Hove who deliver effective front line services to LGBT+ people in the city.
