George House Trust is excited to launch Positive Ambition Manchester—a new, three-year project funded by Manchester City Council to make our city fairer and completely free from HIV stigma.
Today, HIV is a manageable, long-term health condition. Yet, stigma and discrimination still stop too many people living with HIV from truly thriving. Because Manchester has the largest population of people living with HIV outside of London, the support offered by our local charities, community groups, and social enterprises to people living with HIV is vital.
We are kicking off the project by launching our free, in-person HIV awareness training for Manchester’s VCSE sector. Designed to be welcoming and accessible for everyone—whether you’re a volunteer, frontline worker, admin team member, or trustee—the sessions will give your team the practical knowledge and confidence to challenge stigma and build a truly inclusive space.
What’s involved:
- Free face-to-face training: Practical, supportive sessions launching now. These sessions can also be delivered online.
- Show your support: Organisations that complete the training will receive a Positive Ambition Manchester recognition mark to proudly display their commitment to HIV inclusion.
Together, we can ensure HIV holds no one back in our city.
Get in touch with Nick on 0330 174 4433 or email training@ght.org.uk to find out more about the training or to book your free place with us.
