Positive Steps Bury
posted: 09/08/2010
Andrew, a gay man living in the Bury area, is setting up a social and support group for HIV positive gay men living around the whole of the north side of Manchester. Are you interested?
He hopes the group will be a chance to socialise and get to know other positive gay men, share information, advice and support, feel less isolated and share ideas on how to challenge stigma locally.
Interested men who would like to meet in Bury to plan future events, or who just want to find out about what’s arranged, should contact Andrew by email, or mobile 078 95194 575, or leave a message on the website contact page
Positive Steps Bury aims to develop and provide activities and services for gay men living with HIV in Northern Greater Manchester – the Bury, Bolton, Rochdale, Oldham, and Wigan districts and nearby parts of Lancashire.
The plan is for a social drop in - an opportunity to share experiences, views and ideas as well as access information and advice, organising activities together - visiting places of interest, walking, cycling, away weekends and other activities, and going to social events such as theatre, drinks, meals out, bingo, etc.
