“We are saddened to hear of the tragic death of Natasha Richardson. 
 
Natasha Richardson was an NAT ambassador for over 10 years. Having been personally affected by HIV she worked hard to raise awareness of HIV in the UK and around the world. She was always supportive of our work and very passionate in her commitment to tackle HIV discrimination. She will be greatly missed.”

This World AIDS Day – as we encourage everyone to ‘Act Aware’ – NAT is delighted to launch their new ‘HIV Activists Network’. The network has been established to give people living with HIV a stronger voice on a wide range of topics that matter to them; including stigma and discrimination, funding for effective HIV prevention, treatment and support, poverty and HIV education and awareness.

NAT is delighted to announce that two performances of new play ‘A Rude Awakening’, performing at the New End Theatre, are to be held in support of NAT. Tickets cost £18 and on 8 and 24 February, £5 of this will be donated directly to NAT.

The team behind the Wig Party, the iconic fundraising extravaganza of the London party scene, is supporting NAT once again by hosting a special Masked Ball at the Café de Paris on Sunday 18March, 6.30pm – 1.00am.

This year marks the 25th birthday of the National AIDS Trust (NAT) and to mark the occasion we are turning our flagship fundraising event; Spring Awakening, into a celebratory birthday party – the Silver Soirée.
