The Bear pub has been proud to help raise money for a local cheerleading team called the Sussex Tornados.

Under the bar we have a "Cheer Pot" where all your loose change goes from the beer you buy, and we have so far raised in excess of £200 for them. This helps with costs in various competions both in the south, in the UK and other countries.

We are also proud to announce that they are the southern champs for 2006, which was held right here in Brighton.

So a huge thank you from all of us for your help, and let's hope that it keeps continuing. To check out more about the Sussex Tornados click on the link below:

The Bear has, for the past year, sponsored the Universities Climbing Club - and the logo looks great on the back of the t-shirts guys!!!

The Bear also sponsors a lot of local and other charities.

A portion of the money brought in by the quiz on Sunday nights has been given to various charities, some of which are listed below. From £5 onwards every little amount has helped:

NSPCC
NSPCA
Chaney Trust
Rocking Horse Appeal
Cancer research
Unicef

Again... thanks for helping us raise so much money!!
