Project Female's fundraising event in December 2025 was sub-optimal for raising funds but transformative for elevating the organization’s profile.
This year we hosted our first fundraising event in partnership with the Friends of Brighton and Hove Hospitals at Brighton College Theatre in December 2025. The event allowed us to engage some VIP guests and make contact with key stakeholders from across both businesses and government offices across the City. The event was sub-optimal with regards to raising funds but transformative for elevating our profile and creating connections which have led to new relationships and partnerships which have positively impacted delivery of Project Female activity across the 4 strands.
