Brighton5 T-shirt designsOn 8 March we celebrated International Women’s Day – which marks one year since the idea for Brighton5 came about! – by inviting our teens to create slogans and T-shirt designs for our project.

It was an amazing and productive evening with T-shirts that we all want to wear! A huge thank you to our teens.

The best bit? The lovely Emma Knight sporting one of our teens’ designs (ace work Chloe!). Emma requested the Lady Bumps T as she’s going through treatment for breast cancer, so we printed one up for her. Big love to you Emma. ❤

Yesterday we did our first press for Brighton5 – a live interview on local Brighton station Radio Reverb as part of their fundraising Reverbathon 2018. (Big thanks to The Mothership’s Josie Booth for the invite!)

Daisy spoke about where the idea for Brighton5 came from and what it’s all about – we’re hoping to share a link to the interview later this week.

Dipping our toes into publicity is both exciting and daunting – now we have to get on with making Brighton5 happen! It also means we’re putting a call out for people to get involved – from subscribing to this blog (there’s a link below), spreading the word by following us on social media (we’re on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook) and sharing our posts, or offering help with the parent radio show/podcast or the TV show.

Let’s help our teens to make a brighter future for us all.
