Community support for GMFA on World AIDS Day

GMFA, the gay men’s health charity, were overwhelmed by the level of support they received from supporters this World AIDS Day. More gay venues, organisations and businesses than ever before supported the charity this year through a variety of different fundraising events and activities, which look set to have raised almost £20,000 for the charity.

“Gay men are still the group most affected by HIV in the UK. The campaigns and resources that GMFA produce to support gay men living with HIV, such as the website for positive gay men, get no Government funding and so we depend on the support of the community to continue with this work. This World AIDS Day’s amazing total could not have been achieved without the support and generosity of the many individuals, gay venues and businesses that raised money for GMFA. We’re thrilled and hugely grateful and want to thank everyone who has supported us in 2008, by donating money or volunteering for us,” said Matthew Hodson of GMFA.

GMFA would like to send their heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in fundraising events at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern, Barcode Soho, Barcode Vauxhall, the 2Brewers, the Black Cap, KW4, Rupert Street, Halfway to Heaven, Comptons, the Edge, Kazbar, Kudos, the Green, the King’s Arms, the Rose & Crown, The Quebec, the Queen’s Head, 79 CXR, the Yard, the Duke of Wellington, the Admiral Duncan, the Village, Prowler Soho, DV8 Soho, the Gay Sex & Fetish Awards, the Gay Gordons, NHS Islington and Recon. Their efforts will help GMFA continue its vital work for gay men’s health.
