The boss of an under-threat HIV charity said he was '˜delighted' that more than 10,000 have signed a petition calling for it to be saved.

Brighton-based charity The Sussex Beacon is facing the prospect of closing services, including its ten-bed inpatient unit, following a reduction in government funding.

It provides specialist support and care for hundreds of people living with HIV in Sussex each year and was rated ‘outstanding’ by health watchdog the Care Quality Commission in September.
