It's #CervicalCancerPreventionWeek!
Heading to your screening can feel scary, but there's things you can do to make it more comfortable – like bringing your favourite music to listen to.
Your screening could save your life. Don't put it off!

A massive thank you to everyone who joined us for Brew Monday yesterday. 💚☕
Remember, there’s always time for a cuppa and a catch up with a mate! Let’s make sure we keep making time to properly check in with each other, all through the year.

When short film "Care & Loss" was made, we hoped it would make lives (& deaths) of #LGBTQ+ people better. Maybe up for an award! Even if not: please watch, share & hope it helps

RED RUN LDN 2024! 🩸❤️
Our fundraising superheroes raised over £4,000 for our hardship grant fund! We are absolutely blown away! 🤯
This means we can keep distributing £50 grants to people living with and/or affected by HIV, who are in desperate need of vital financial support. 💙
More than 2,000 people came together, to fundraise over £223,000 - and counting - for 31 incredible HIV charities! ✨
We're excited to be collaborating with @festivaldotorg on an installation at @royal_greenwich Sparkle in the Park. Share with us your #LGBTQ+ hopes for the festive season, your Christmas wish! Share in comments or DM us
