Brighton & Hove City Council has awarded  19 Pride 2014 grants to local community groups, voluntary associations and not-for-profit social enterprise to help them take part and provide services during the Pride 2014 celebrations.

Cllr Bill Randall, Lead Member for Communities & Equality said “I’m delighted we are helping so many of our third sector LGBT partners be a part of  this year’s event. As a city we value people as individuals and are determined to eradicate the homophobia, biphobia and transphobia faced by many of our citizens on a daily basis.
