Starting in April 2022, each of LGMC’s concerts will try to raise £2,030 for Terrence Higgins Trust to help meet this goal. In fact, if the Department for Health and Social Care follows the advice of the HIV Commission, founded by Terrence Higgins Trust and its partners the National AIDS Trust and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, we could be the first country to meet his historic milestone. This UNAIDS target is now government policy and is possible in a country like ours. This is not just to continue to fund services for people living with HIV – post-diagnosis counselling, peer support, anti-stigma resilience and support to rejoin the labour market – but to concentrate on the huge goal of ending new HIV cases by 2030. Thirty years on, now with over 300 members and performances in some of the biggest musical venues around the world – from the Royal Albert Hall to the Sydney Opera House, the LGMC is still promoting ‘Social Justice through Song’.Īs one marks its ‘ruby’ anniversary and the other its ‘pearl’, we are re-forming our historic partnership.

Most LGBTQ+ events – whether it is a pride march or a protest – are not complete without a safe sex message and the beautiful sounds of Britain’s biggest boyband.įorty years on, Terrence Higgins Trust continues to be the UK’s leading HIV and sexual health organisation. Both groups created organisations beyond their founders’ wildest dreams that have not only met their initial mission but been part of enormous societal change too. A decade later, a generation of gay men was decimated nine community members met outside Angel tube station to sing Christmas carols to fund the Trust. In 1982, Terry Higgins became the first-named person to die of an AIDS-related illness his partner and friends formed Europe’s first HIV support organisation to respond to the unfolding pandemic. Terrence Higgins Trust and London Gay Men’s Chorus – the organisations that we lead – are a testament to that. It is incredible what people experiencing grief can achieve.
