The George House Trust Positive Speakers Programme received a Highly Commended citation at the North West Public Health Awards at Manchester Town Hall on Monday night.
The awards recognise excellence and innovation in public health development across the North West. Two positive speakers were present to accept the award on behalf of the programme and the certificate was presented by Ruth Hussey, Regional Director of Public Health.
The Positive Speaker Programme is a unique and innovative programme that directly challenges HIV related stigma and stereotypical views of who is at risk through personal perspectives on living with HIV. For more information on the programme click here.

Absolutely Positive Showcase
posted: 03/12/2008
Absolutely Positive launched George House Trust's new Positive Speakers programme on the afternoon of World AIDS Day.
The afternoon showcased the diversity of those affected by HIV, with personal experiences of living with HIV shared by 6 speakers, each with very different tales to tell.
As one audience member put it, the afternoon was an inspiring, shocking and moving event. The consensus was clear - everyone there would happily recommend the Positive Speakers Programme to colleagues.
The event really highlighted diversity. The quality of info, content and presentation styles was excellent;
How amazing the speakers are. The work of George House Trust shows through the speakers, fantastic.
Well organised event; friendly environment and conducive to ask questions and discuss. The testimonies bring together a good set of examples of what it is like to live with HIV today.
Excellent opportunity to hear stories - and also to network! What was most powerful was the range of experiences discussed.
