Peer Action, the HIV+ peer support and social group for people living with HIVĀ has elected Michael Nelson as their chair of trustees.
Michael, a Consultant Engineer has a long history of voluntary work within the HIV sector in Brighton and Hove extending over two decades. This includes involvement over the years with St Peters House, Open Door, Lunch Positive and Peer Action.
Peer Action is a volunteer led charity with Peers setting up and running a variety of health related and social activities for those living with or affected by HIV.
Peer ActionĀ trustees are delighted Michael has been elected to this important role. He is already a trustee and steering group volunteer. Peer Actions trustee positions are reviewed periodically as laid out in their constitution.
Mike said: āHelping Peer Action move forward is an amazing opportunity. I am honoured to be offered this role; especially at this time of growth for Peer Actions activities. Although it may mean I have to step back from some other commitments, my plan is to build our support network and ensure the continued provision of services for the coming years.
“Being a volunteer-led organisation gives us great prospects to meet the demands of the future and I shall try my best to ensure we grow in a sustainable and user led manner. Naturally we always have vacancies for volunteers in all roles and I would ask anyone who is interested to consider joining our team.”
