We’re proud to be the official Charity of the Year for the Brighton 10
Whether you’re chasing a new personal best or taking on your very first running challenge, this iconic seafront run is the perfect event to get involved in and we’d love to have you join us in Team Beacon.
Who we are
The Sussex Beacon is a Brighton-based charity providing specialist care and support for people living with HIV. For over 30 years, we’ve been helping people across Sussex live healthy, independent lives through a range of services, including:
- Mental health and emotional wellbeing support
- Peer mentoring and community groups
- Casework to support housing, finances, and employment
- Services tailored for women and families
- Our Formula Milk Programme, which provides free formula milk to HIV-positive parents who are unable to breastfeed due to NHS guidelines
Today people living with HIV are living longer, often leading happy, healthy lives, but some still face considerable challenges, other health complications and stigma, which remains a major concern for all. Therefore, our work remains as vital as ever. Every runner, every donation, and every step helps us continue to provide compassionate, individual support.
Why run for Team Beacon?
When you sign up to run the Brighton 10 for The Sussex Beacon, you’re not just entering a race – you’re joining a community of passionate, determined and supportive individuals making a real difference.

Your Impact
