Lunch Positive the HIV charity hosted a special lunch on November 29 to commemorate World AIDS Day.
The HIV lunch club welcomed 72 people including guests from partner organisations who support the LGBT community. Guests included Lawson Unit, Public Health, HIV Community Specialist Team, East Sussex Avenue Clinic, THT, HIV Chaplaincy, Peer Action, Dorset Gardens Methodist Church, MindOUT, CRI LGBT Brief Intervention, Gscene and Sussex Police LGBT Liaison.
Gary Pargeter, Volunteer Project Manager: “It’s important that we continue to recognise that despite improvements in HIV treatment, isolation, loneliness and stigma are still experienced by many people with HIV. There are still huge social and psychological challenges for people with HIV, and many still experience poorer health and well-being. We all enjoyed a fantastic gathering. It was hugely uplifting to have so many people join with us who celebrated the value and importance of togetherness. Our volunteer team did a fantastic job on what was one of our busiest lunch sessions.”
