Pride organisers continue to appeal for support to save parade
A pride event is continuing to ask for support as its parade is at risk of being cancelled. Worthing Pride announced last week that its parade was at 'serious risk of being cancelled' due to a lack of sponsorship. Organisers of the event said more than 35 businesses and 500 people were involved in the parade last year and as of April 25, only six businesses had applied. Posts on the event's social media page previously called for support from Worthing West MP Beccy Cooper and Worthing Business Improvement District (Bid). Pride director Gary Richardson said people are now beginning to engage although donations to the Go Fund Me as well as event sponsorship packages are still needed.

Tickets can be purchased on the Worthing Pride website. Mr Richardson also asked that 'members of the business community that benefit from the increased footfall to the town over pride weekend' make a 'donation of profits' to the event's Go Fund Me. He added that a percentage of ticket sales from 'pride events' could be donated towards funds. Headliners for the festival include Jo O'Meara from S Club and Natasha Hamilton from Atomic Kitten fame. Drag performers include Elektra Fence from RuPaul's Drag Race UK. Ms Cooper said: 'Pride is an extremely important event for our town and one which I have always enjoyed taking part in.

'As with all partnership requests, we assess these on a case-by-case basis in line with our diversity and inclusion policy and organisation objectives. 'While recent communication has been challenging, we remain open to constructive dialogue and have invited the organisers to meet with us, as yet, this has not been accepted. 'That invitation still stands.'

Popular air show confirmed for 2025 - but investment needed for future events
An annual air show will return next year. Airbourne, the free four-day air show held in Eastbourne, will run from August 14 to 17 next year, Eastbourne Borough Council has confirmed. It will be the third year the event is run on donations, commercial sales and new initiatives after an uncertain future since its return following Covid. The show is able to go ahead this year due to the fact that last year's event was 'cost neutral', however the council has stressed that the event requires sponsorship to continue. Councillor Margaret Bannister, Eastbourne Borough Council's lead member for tourism, leisure, accessibility and community safety, said, "Our thanks go to all those who have donated, sponsored, volunteered or financially supported the show this year. Airbourne really is only possible with your help. "However, for 2025 we are once again starting from scratch. We really do need sponsorship commitment now to help get Airbourne 2025 off the ground - with enough support early on we can start securing some exciting flying displays and attractions to keep the show flying high." Spectators watch the Red Arrows perform at Airbourne (Image: Sussex News and Pictures) Councillor Stephen Holt, leader of Eastbourne Borough Council, said, "I'm delighted that Airbourne can go ahead next year. It is a very popular and important event in our events calendar. "This decision has been made following confirmation that the event has remained cost-neutral, and the team is continuing to develop plans to ensure that the event remains financially viable."

Councillor Jim Murray, cabinet member for carbon neutral 2030, said: "In 2023 and 2024 we teamed up with Eastbourne Eco Action Network CIC to support the Eastbourne United Nations Association's carbon offsetting scheme in Uganda. "Our involvement in the project resulted in 14,000 trees being planted last year and with a similar number being planted in 2024, great strides are being made in achieving a carbon neutral Airbourne."
