Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page. For the last 2 summers I have volunteered for a week on  CHIVA's summer camp. The camp is for 13-17 year olds, from the UK and Ireland, who are living with HIV.

 

Summer camp 2011 was a fantastic success. It was great to see so many young people return from last year having grown in confidence, self esteem and acceptance of their HIV status. They were in a position to support those who were yet to experience the life changing effect of attending a camp where anxieties around discrimination, prejudice, stigma and adherence to medications were discussed openly. The sense of empowerment and peer support that these young people received could not have happened without camp.

On the weekend of 3rd-4th December a group of CHIVA volunteers and staff will be cycling the 1407km from Land's End to John O Groats (albeit in the comfort of a London gym), to raise money for CHIVA's Summer Camp 2012.

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for taking the time to read our page and we hope you can find a few pounds to donate.
