Give a little…Change a lot – Volunteer with Terrence Higgins Trust Cymru!

Wales can be the first country in the world to end new HIV cases by 2030 – but we can’t do it without your support.

'We won’t do this by accident, and we won’t do this without your help. This fight is urgent, and we need your help now.'

 

Terrence Higgins Trust was started in honour of Terry Higgins. He was born and raised in Wales and is one of the first people in the UK recorded as dying from an AIDS-related illness. The charity was started so that anyone navigating an HIV diagnosis wouldn’t have to face the journey alone. Become part of the wonderful family of diverse stakeholders who support our work.


By joining our volunteer network across Wales, you will help to reduce stigma and misinformation around HIV. Our goal is to increase understanding and challenge misconceptions. We want people to feel confident to test for HIV, be aware of how to look after their sexual health, and to support communities who have become disengaged from Sexual Health services.
