Had an absolutely fantastic time at Unison's National Young Members Conference in my home city of Swansea. I had the privilege of Chairing a session, moving a motion, running a workshop, and most importantly, beating SOC! Thanks to everyone who helped organise it, and to all those who attended!

World AIDS Day is a global movement to unite people in the fight against HIV and AIDS. Since 1988, communities have stood together to show strength and solidarity against HIV stigma and to remember lives lost.
