mind the innocents
Positively Women in north London also offers crèche facilities for families attending events, whomay need child support.
Another national organisation that can help families with young children
affected or infected, is CWAC (Children With Aids Charity). "We operate
a small grant scheme, usually up to £250 per family, to help with
hardship. Things like phone bills, respite, school uniforms," explains
Leslie Naylor, CWAC's administrator. "We have a complete ethnic mix
of families who come to us, but the majority are single young mums. Over
60 per cent are asylum seekers who are recommended via the social services.
In the last year we have supported about 900 families."
