At The Sussex Beacon, community, compassion, and change are at the heart of everything we do. Every day, we provide vital support for people living with HIV, helping to build a brighter, healthier future for all. But don’t just take our word for it—let’s celebrate the incredible impact we’re making together.
Our services ensure that no one faces HIV alone. Through peer mentoring, casework, and workshops, we’re breaking down barriers, raising awareness, and fostering a culture of understanding and acceptance. Our advocacy amplifies the voices of those living with HIV, pushing for policy changes to protect their rights and promote compassion within our communities. Together, we’re making a meaningful impact.
In 2024 alone here is just some of quantitative impact we’ve made through our community services:
People supported by our Community Services Team can have multiple and complex needs, these are often related to their experience of prejudice, marginalisation, stigma and trauma.

Everything we do is made possible by the incredible support of our community. We’re deeply grateful to our NHS partners and Brighton & Hove City Council for helping us deliver essential services, as well as to the National Lottery, trusts, and grant makers whose generosity extends our reach.
A heartfelt thank you to our corporate partners, regular givers, benefactors, and donors who stand beside us every step of the way, it truly makes all the difference. And to those who choose to leave a gift in their will, your legacy lives on in the support we provide to people living with HIV.
Together, we’re creating real change.
While we’re proud of how far we’ve come, there’s still more to do. The landscape of HIV is always evolving, and so will we. We remain committed to adapting, growing, and ensuring that no one faces HIV alone.
With your support, we’ll continue to provide specialist care, promote independence, and improve health and wellbeing, for today, tomorrow, and the future.
