This Black History Month, we're looking back at how Positively UK has been honouring our communities throughout the year. In March, with @UniofNottingham, we hosted a focus group for Black women about their experiences of barriers & opportunities using digital health technologies
Today is the first opportunity for people at the Royal Free to see Achim in the clinic for housing, welfare & benefits advice.
Embedding wrap-around support in the clinic improves access, trust & continuity of care for people.
Congrats to Achim on his first day in the clinic!
Remembering great times at the World AIDS Day Red Run on Saturday 21 November, our favourite day out with all the amazing people who sign up to run or walk for us.
(And don't forget that it's still not too late to sign up to walk or run for us this November...)
October marks Black History Month, and the theme for 2026 is "Honouring Our Communities". Stay tuned for our posts looking back at how Positively UK has been living out this ethos in our work this year. 💃🏿🧡

We all came together this week, peer supporters and managers, to grow together and express ourselves through seedlings and art 🌱🖐🏾

Positively UK's Harun Tulunay - look for the purple hair in the picture! 💜 - spoke at the UK Health Security Agency conference in Manchester today, bringing a community perspective to the session "Beyond surveillance: understanding behaviour to prevent infection with BBVs/STIs".
Harun explored what the Positive Voices survey means to people living with HIV and how Positively UK's "Beyond Positive Voices" project, in collaboration with @nationalaidstrust, shed light on the human experiences behind the survey's findings.
The WORLD AIDS DAY RED RUN is just 2 months from now! - still time to sign up to run for Positively UK. Challenge yourself to run or walk 5k or 10k and join us for a fantastic day out on 22nd November, and contribute to everything we do.
