Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) in Brighton is looking for volunteers to join the THT team at Pride on August 2nd. THT needs people who will hand out condoms and provide advice on 'staying safe' at events during the Pride weekend.

THT needs volunteers to target party-goers in four shifts; during the parade itself, in Preston Park, street outreach around St James Street and work in gay venues during the evening. Volunteers can wear attention grabbing costumes or a THT T-Shirt.

Ben Tunstall, who is organising THTs presence at Brighton Pride said "Volunteering for THT over Pride is a real laugh. You'll also learn new skills and meet new people. We've got thousands of condoms to hand out so we need plenty of people to help us. If you can spare the time, please join us!"

Volunteers must be able to come to a 2 hour briefing Friday August 1 at 6pm at THT (61 Ship St, Brighton) the night before Pride.

If you'd like to volunteer or want more information, please call or email Amy on 01273 764 200 / amy.leftwich@tht.org.uk
