The Big Garden Party

Sign up to host your own Big Garden Party and raise money to support HIV rights

Host a Big Garden Party for National AIDS Trust and join a movement of people, workplaces and community groups UK-wide, all united by a single aim: to secure the rights of people living with HIV and to end new HIV transmissions.

We're asking you to get your friends, family or colleagues together to support our work securing equality for people living with HIV. It can be anywhere indoor or outdoor as long as you have permission where necessary. 

Whether it's a small group in your garden or a larger party, we have a fundraising pack that covers everything you need to set up your event. We also have a few extra treats including recipes from Dr Ranj Singh, Cheryl Hole, Michael Chakraverty and Tom Allen and top tips from Stephen Fry! 

If you would like to talk to us more about your Garden Party plans or if you need any support let us know at fundraising@nat.org.uk.
