Heather Leake Date has joined the Board of Trustees at Lunch Positive, the HIV lunch club charity who provide a healthy meal for people who are HIV positive at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church every Friday afternoon.
Heather is Consultant Pharmacist (HIV/Sexual Health) at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust, where she has been part of the HIV team for nearly 25 years.
She is also a Methodist Minister, based at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church, and runs the Sussex HIV Chaplaincy. In this capacity she is a member of the Brighton and Hove World Aids Day Community Partnership, and helps to organise the annual candlelit vigil and names reading in New Steine Gardens, as well as the separate service of remembrance.
Heather has actively supported Lunch Positive since it began and is delighted to be joining the team in a more formal role.
