Through a full programme of fun events, BBW will be raising funds for the Rainbow Fund, who through their independent grants programme, give grants to local LGBT/HIV organisations who provide effective front line services to LGBT people in Brighton and Hove.

Zoe Lyons, Patron of the Rainbow Fund, says: “Wishing all you lovely Bears a fabulous weekend in Brighton this June. Have a truck load of fun and thanks to each and every one of you for supporting The Rainbow Fund and all the great causes it helps in Brighton And Hove”

You can help with fundraising by buying this year’s limited edition T-shirt which Zoe is wearing in the photo above from Prowler in St James Street or purchase a wristband giving you great discounts in gay venues across the city during the weekend celebrations.

Support independent LGBTQ+ journalism

Scene was founded in Brighton in 1993, at a time when news stories about Pride protests were considered radical.

Since then, Scene has remained proudly independent, building a platform for queer voices. Every subscription helps us to report on the stories that matter to LGBTQ+ people across the UK and beyond.


Your support funds our journalists and contributes to Pride Community Foundation’s grant-making and policy work.
