On #SpiritDay, organisations around the world turn purple to spread a message of hope, and to stand up for queer people of all ages and our right to live openly without fear of mockery or violence. Let's build a world where no-one has to be bullied - ever.

This #Diwali, we're sharing the poem "Diwali on the HIV Ward" (2013) by Kalyan Banda, a powerful piece which invites us to reflect on the experiences of those in the clinic as doctors or patients and recall racial and ethnic inequalities in access to the care needed to manage and live well with HIV

Big thanks to all the volunteers at the Bob Hope Theatre and the wonderful Bromley Players for supporting us in raising awareness of what we do for people living with HIV and giving us a night we won't forget any time soon! 🎶🎭

Today is HIV & Ageing Awareness Day. It's a moment to pause and celebrate the activism that allows people living with HIV to live longer lives. And it's a reminder that older people belong at the centre of our movement as we continue to uplift people living with HIV at ALL ages.

Our new report, Beyond Positive Voices, centres people too often overlooked in HIV care: women, migrants, older adults & trans communities.

📊 Just 91% of trans people felt listened to in care.
💸 72% struggled to meet basic needs.

At the #AIRFestival, our #BannerWorkshop was a space for expression, emotion & rebellion.

We created a #RebelSpace, where our banners spoke of resistance & shared journeys.
