support for haemophiliacs
Re: the Sesame Group (in 'Services', PN 70).
I would like to add some more information about the support group for people with HIV and haemophilia also mentioned in this piece.
We are the Hat Trick group, an independent project providing peer support for all people living with and affected by haemophilia in London and the south-east. The group is funded by Crusaid and supported by the Haemophilia Society and the Macfarlane Trust. Services are coordinated by an individual living with haemophilia, HIV and HCV. Some meetings are held at THT West/Lighthouse, who provide a room free of charge, but Hat Trick remains independent of any organisation.
For further information please contact the group at haemophiliagroup@hotmail.com or phone me on Tuesdays on 0800 0186068
