Local HIV charity Lunch Positive appoint new trustee to the board.
Lunch Positive provides a weekly peer-led community lunch club for people with HIV every Friday at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church, Kemptown.
In joining the board at Lunch Positive, Richard Jeneway, who co-founded the HIV charity Peer Action, brings a wealth of experience in the voluntary sector and important insights into living with HIV. This includes ageing with HIV, social disadvantage and the complexity of challenges that HIV can still present for many people.
Richard has been directly involved in supporting people with HIV for many years, including facilitating group work and service provision.
Steven Foster, Chair of Lunch Positive, said: “We are delighted to welcome Richard to the Board, which we know will strengthen governance of our Charity at a time when we continue to develop services to meet the needs of our community. Actively involving people who are HIV positive is absolutely fundamental to good governance of a peer-led organisation, and the provision of relevant and effective services.”
Richard Jeneway said: “The unique service that Lunch Positive provides, together with the fantastic contributions of volunteers, have such an impact on our HIV community.
“I feel privileged to join the Lunch Positive Trustee Board. As this established and well-respected Charity continues to grow from strength to strength I am very much looking forward to being a part of the process as a Trustee.”
