Join us for this event – a time for London to remember the many lives lost to HIV and AIDS.
The International AIDS Candlelight Memorial, coordinated by the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+), is one of the world’s oldest and largest grassroots mobilisation campaigns for HIV awareness in the world. Started in 1983, the International AIDS Candlelight Memorial takes place every third Sunday in May and is led by a coalition of community organisations in many countries.
Our event is open to all, whether you’re a client of Positive East, or of another HIV organisation, living with HIV or not, or involved in an HIV organisation (staff, volunteer or trustee). Allies also welcome.
The event will include:
- Display of panels 12 and 13 of the UK AIDS Quilts
- Presentation by Quilt conservator Emma Duggan
- Buffet provided by Food Chain
- Remembrance Tree planting in the Positive East Garden
- Candlelight Memorial
We’re presenting this event in association with Food Chain, the UK AIDS Memorial Quilt Partnership, and GNP+
