Eighties pop star Holly Johnson has become a patron of Brighton HIV charity the Sussex Beacon.
The 66-year-old star’s connection with the charity began in 2023 when he visited before a show at the Dome, in Brighton.
The Frankie Goes to Hollywood singer has now joined fellow singer Olly Alexander and actress and HIV / AIDS campaigner Jill Nalder as a patron.
Johnson said: “I’m so happy to add my name to the great work the Sussex Beacon have done over many years, supporting those with HIV and their partners through so many difficult times.”
Sussex Beacon chief executive Rachel Brett added: “We are incredibly proud to welcome Holly Johnson as a patron of the Sussex Beacon.
“As one of the most influential cultural figures of his generation, Holly has been a powerful and inspiring voice for people living with HIV and the LGBTQ+ community.
“For decades, he has used his platform to challenge stigma, confront discrimination and inequality, and champion greater understanding, acceptance, and inclusion.
“Holly’s courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to speaking out make him an extraordinary advocate for our work.
“We are honoured to have him join the Sussex Beacon family at such an important time in our history.”
I actually thought the Charity place up at Meadowview was actually closing, but where is this Charity based now in the City.
Still up there as it isn’t closed, or moving to another property.
Whom?
