National AIDS Trust is calling on you to #RockTheRibbon for people living with HIV this World AIDS Day.

Taking place annually on December 1, World AIDS Day is a time to stand up for those impacted by HIV, past and present, and call for a better future. By wearing the iconic red ribbon, you are joining a community that shows solidarity with people living with HIV while remembering lives lost.

Today National AIDS Trust launches it’s World AIDS Day website, which includes information on different ways that you can get involved. The website includes resources to help you fundraise for National AIDS Trust, and links to purchase items, including red ribbon brooches and tote bags. If you’d like a free box of 100 red ribbons to give to friends, family, colleagues or customers in exchange for donations, get in contact.

The website also includes links to download National AIDS Trust’s World AIDS Day 2023 poster and social media graphics to help spread the word. These feature photography of three inspiring individuals who strive to make the world a better place for people living with HIV. Read more about Garry, Louise and Eli.

Deborah Gold, Chief Executive of National AIDS Trust said: “We are extremely proud to have Garry, Louise and Eli leading National AIDS Trust’s World AIDS Day 2023 campaign.
