Brighton Equality Walk
The Brighton Walk 2009 took place on Sunday 3rd May with record numbers of walkers.
Stonewall’s sixth annual Brighton Equality Walk, supported by American Express, drew a record number of walkers and raised over £50,000 on bank holiday Sunday 3rd May.
Over 400 walkers joined hosts Brian Paddick and Mr Gay UK Dino Gamecho to raise money for our Education for All campaign to eradicate homophobic bullying in schools .
Walkers made the most of the May Bank Holiday sunshine by bringing their picnics to the Royal Pavilion Gardens. The wonderful NamNams face painter ensured everyone was looking their best whilst swing band Rockin in Rhythm kept music flowing. Pirates Bosun Barnacle and Captain Short Joan Silver searched for mermaids and sailors - without much luck!
The Walk was opened by the Mayor of Brighton & Hove, Councillor Garry Peltzer Dunn and followed a route set by the Brighton-based lesbian and gay sports group BLAGSS along the sea-front and through Brighton’s gay village. Walkers finished the route, collected their medals and enjoyed a glass of bubbly at Legends Hotel.
Thank you to everyone that came down to take part and raise so much money for Stonewall's Education for All campaign!
