We hope you’re as excited as we are about the new Russell T Davies drama It’s A Sin.
Our charity was set up in response to the same poignant issues you’ll see in the series. Our namesake, Terry Higgins, was one of the first people in the UK to die of AIDS related illnesses in 1982. His partner and friends witnessed their loved ones lives being cut short, homophobic abuse and vilifying headlines in the media. So the same year, they set up the charity.
Quote textIt’s A Sin is a stark reminder it shouldn’t take another 30 years of graveside regret for us to achieve sufficient empathy to confront the injustices of today. We should start now.
Almost 40 years on, we’re still here supporting thousands of people every year through our wellbeing services, HIV prevention programmes and stigma-busting campaigning.
