This column by our trustee Andy Winter about the wonderful Valerie Mainstone was published in the Brighton Argus on 1st May 2024, Valerie’s 83rd birthday. See below or link to Andy’s blog. https://wp.me/pDTWu-2bD
Valerie is a committed campaigner for memorials for women and has supported the Mary Clarke Statue Appeal since it was set up in 2018. She is often to be seen dressed as a suffragist or sporting suffrage colours.
Valerie was with us on 14th December 2023 when the Mayor of Brighton & Hove councillor Jackie O’Quinn posthumously awarded Mary Clarke the Freedom of the City. On that occasion Valerie posed with the Mayor and our model of Mary’s inspirational Lamp.
