Specialist Services

Some George House Trust services have to be prioritised for people who are most in need and who can most benefit.

If you are interested in one of the service below, please contact us and we will meet with you to discuss your needs and appropriate support.

Community Support
Community Support is the name we use for our one to one service people living with HIV, away from our office. Specialist volunteers are fully trained and are able to help with occasional practical tasks, or to provide emotional and social support, in your home or somewhere else.

Examples of the type of community support that our volunteers offer include: helping with shopping or going to appointments, meeting in a social setting, finding your way around a new area, and providing a listening ear when you're going through a difficult time.

Community Support is initially provided for an agreed time and is reviewed regularly by the Volunteer Co-ordinator, to make sure it remains the right support for you.

Counselling
George House Trust provides focussed therapeutic support about the impact of an HIV diagnosis, living with HIV, or any other issues you may have.

A short course of regular counselling is offered, with one of our team of qualified counsellors. The length of the counselling course will be negotiated with you but will normally be no longer than sixteen weeks.
