Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Stonewall raised a record-breaking 395,000 at our 2014 Equality Dinner, sponsored by Aviva. Money raised from the night will support our work on education and tackling homophobia wherever it exists. As always, there was a fantastic atmosphere right from beginning at the champagne reception through to the late night moves on the dance floor. Huge thanks to all attendees, donors and auction bidders for your incredible support! The night marked Stonewalls 25th anniversary, with speeches from presenter, broadcaster and writer Sue Perkins and journalist and Stonewall founder, Matthew Parris. Both emphasised that while there was much to celebrate, there was still much to do. The Dinner also saw the launch of Stonewalls No Bystanders campaign, with a 60 second film. Details of the 2015 Stonewall Equality Dinner will be announced in autumn 2014.
