World Aids Day Sunday 1 December - volunteers needed

8 Nov 2013 - 09:33 by michelle.foster

World AIDS Day is a global health day held on the 1 December each year. It's an opportunity for us to unite in the fight against HIV, support people living with HIV and remember people who have lost their lives to HIV/AIDS.

Manchester World AIDS Partnership brings together key organisations across the City, to mark World AIDS Day each year.

We want every Manchester resident to be HIV aware.

Being HIV aware means:
• Knowing the facts about HIV
• Challenging HIV stigma and discrimination
• If you're sexually active, testing regularly for HIV

The money is no longer where the mouth is but where the outcomes are and increasingly, organisations are being asked to show not only what outcomes will be achieved but to also explain those outcomes in the context of counterfactual analysis: what would happen without your project? Can you prove the importance of your service?
