Closure of Body Positive North West
posted: 17/05/2012
Today we learnt that Body Positive North West (BPNW) has closed its service to people living with HIV and ceased operations permanently.
We at George House Trust (GHT) are saddened by this news. Now, as the sole remaining HIV charity in Manchester, our main priority is to minimise the disruption to BPNW’s service users.
We wish to extend a warm welcome to people living with HIV who have been using BPNW’s services by inviting them to come to an open session at GHT on Friday 25th May 2012 from 10-12. We will be able to provide information to people on the range of services that we offer. A light lunch will be provided.
The event will be held in our training room at 75-77, Ardwick Green, Manchester. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.
If however, people can’t make the open session at this time, or if anyone needs to speak to someone at GHT sooner, or in the future, they can contact us on 0161 274 4499 or by e-mailing support@ght.org.uk
We aim to ensure that people living with HIV have access to a wide range of health and well-being services appropriate to their needs.

Living Positive Exhibition
posted: 24/03/2010
Living Positive is a Manchester-wide HIV awareness event lasting over the next week or so. Artist Charlotte Barnes and Body Positive North West service users created Living Positive. Photographic workshops taught basic photographic skills to people using BPNW services to help document their stories and experiences through photography.
The images produced by service users, as well as photographs uploaded to the website, are now being exhibited at 60 venues throughout Manchester. You can also view the images online.
The images are being shown on the large digital City GateWay screen at Piccadilly train station, as well as the website.
Free booklets, exhibitions
There are around 2,000 free booklets of the images distributed around Manchester. Find the exhibitions and venues with booklets.
