GHT's Trustees agree a Strategic Partnership Position Statement

posted: 02/06/2011

This position statement comes during the worst economic recession to impact on the voluntary sector in the UK in living history. As a consequence, many charities face significant funding cuts, some have already ceased trading and up to 50% of charities in the UK are not expected to survive the recession.

The Trustees of George House Trust (GHT) are particularly concerned about the future of HIV social care services for people living with HIV across the North West of England.There is a real danger that the strong legacy of the HIV social care sector could be lost.

GHT’s Trustees believe that it is vital that HIV social care provision is maintained for all people living with HIV.In order to achieve this, charities within the HIV sector in the North West, and across the UK if necessary, will need to explore dynamic and creative ways of working together strategically.

This work could take a number of forms: from greater sharing of information and knowledge through to pooling resources, joint funding applications, influencing commissioners, forming consortia in order to win contracts and mergers.

GHT welcomes opportunities to explore new ways of working with highly regarded charities within the HIV sector. This will help to ensure the survival of HIV social care services within the North West. 

Anyone requesting further details should contact our Chief Executive Rosie Robinson.

Manchester Pride has launched a new video which showcases George House Trust’s work. George House Trust is one of Manchester Pride’s fundraising partners.

The video was shot by FruitTV, a global online platform for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender communities.

Pride supports HIV Welfare Fund
In 2010 £27,500 from Manchester Pride went to support George House Trust’s Welfare Fund to help people living with HIV through financial hardship.
 

Rosie Robinson, chief executive of George House Trust, commented: “George House Trust has a long-standing relationship with Manchester Pride. It's really great that money raised from people partying at Pride goes to support people living with HIV, experiencing hardship. I think that's a wonderful connection to make.”
