World AIDS Day, 2011
posted: 23/09/2011
World AIDS Day is marked on the 1st December all over the World – raising awareness and raising money for people living with HIV and AIDS. The noise that we make about HIV and AIDS on this international day is vitally important, as it challenges stigma and discrimination too.
How can you get involved?
Hold a fundraiser
You may choose to fundraise at your workplace or with a local community group.
As a basic fundraising package, this year George House Trust can provide you with Red Ribbons, Collecting tins and HIV awareness leaflets and postcards
If you are interested in fundraising, then contact us with a rough idea of how many people you want to fundraise with.
Sell our red ribbons in your shop or café
If you would be interested in selling red ribbons in aid of GHT, we can provide you with a counter display box and collecting tin. Contact us to arrange.
Volunteer!
Every year - we’re out on the streets selling red ribbons in Manchester city centre with our team of volunteers. If you are interested in joining us on the streets of Manchester, then get in touch.
Attend the Candlelit Vigil
Also in December we organise a candlelit vigil in Sackville Park / Gardens in Central Manchester which is an opportunity to remember those people we have lost to HIV. Any proceeds from the Vigil go to organisations supporting local people living with HIV.

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.”

George House Trust would like to say a HUGE thank you to all those who ran in Team GHT last Sunday, 15th May.
Our Team braved the cold and the rain to run and raise vital funds to support people living with HIV in the North West.
Big thanks also go to Christian from Active Health for providing some much needed free sports massage before and after the race and to the Cooperative, Crunch Bar and Durex for sponsoring our running vests. Also to our team of supporters who provided some fantastic encouragement along the route!
There's still time to sponsor our runners. You can find them at: http://www.justgiving.com/ght
