Two community arranged LGBTQ+-related derbies, the Pride Derby and the Thruxton Derby, have raised £750 to benefit coronavirus relief funds and the Emerald 50Fund.
The Emerald 50Fund is an initiative which supports grassroots LGBTQ+ and women’s activism groups in South Africa. The event was organised by local activist Richard Smart, who “jumped at the chance” to help, when a local bisexual girl informed him that it was Pride Month.
