What a wonderful opportunity Brighton and Hove has to put something back into society instead of looking for financial return.

The West Pier Fund can be put to a very useful purpose to make life better for at least one in 20 of the population who will fall foul of cancer and other incurable illnesses.

Please give thought to the rescue of St Barnabas Hospice, which will disappear if financial help is not forthcoming.
