The Memorial
Insight from sculptor Romany Mark Bruce.
The unveiling, and final appeals for funding
Local and other appeals raising the last of the sum required to transport the finished sculpture from Essex, and to install the work in one of Brighton's public gardens. Beyond this point: a Brighton & Hove LGBT Community Fund will provide grants to support local community groups that help LGBT people and build a strong supportive community.
As well as remembering people in Brighton & Hove who have died as a result of HIV infection or AIDS, this memorial will provide a focal point to encourage local people to build a fund to support lesbian gay bisexual and transgender people in the City.

Friends of the sculptor and of Sussex Beacon are encouraging fundraising: for the finished bronze to be transported from the foundry and installed in a public garden — and towards the establishment of a broader, ongoing, managed fund that may benefit all relevant groups within the local communities.
