The Red Ribbon charity calendar is back for 2027 and wants to sell 500 copies

The Red Ribbon Calendar, a fundraiser for people living with HIV, is on sale again for 2027. The aim this time is to sell 500 copies, up from 400 last year, with all profits split equally between the Sussex Beacon and Terrence Higgins Trust. The news was first reported by the Argus².

The calendar costs £10 and is A4. Its sales page says it “brings together a group of guys united in one cause: raising awareness and support for people living with HIV.”

It was started by Jordan Chan, a charity fundraiser and LGBTQ+ activist. Last year’s edition raised £3,400, according to Scene³, and Brighton buyers accounted for £1,250 of it. Chan handed £1,700 to Sussex Beacon chief executive Rachel Brett.

“Learning about the amazing work they carry out over the last couple of years has been truly inspiring, and I’m hoping to raise even more money this year for them,” Chan told the Argus.

The Brighton launch is at Bar Broadway on Saturday 24 October, one of a series of launch events across the South East. Calendars can also be ordered online.
