Here are some suggestions for ways you can support communities to respond to HIV:

  • Make a donation

    Find out how your support could make a difference to the Alliance's work.

  • Ask the UK government to provide the money and leadership needed to respond to HIV

    The Stop AIDS Campaign*, of which the Alliance is a member, has launched a campaign called 'If not now, when? If not you, who?' to encourage the UK government to take urgent action to achieve their promise of universal access to HIV presention, treatment, care and support by 2010. As part of the campaign, you can write to your MP, and email UK Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, and Secretary of State for International Development, Douglas Alexander, to show their commitment to addressing HIV.

  • Fundraise for the Alliance

    Why not raise money and have fun at the same time by organising a sponsored or fundraising event?

  • Get your employer's support

    There are many ways your company could support the work of the Alliance, including nominating us as your charity of the year, offering to match contributions made by staff, or entering into a longer-term partnership.

  • Leave a legacy

    Find out how you can leave a donation in your will.

  • Gift ideas!

    Instead of giving the usual birthday or wedding present, why not give a donation gift? You could help pay for HIV counselling and testing, the distribution of condoms, or HIV education. Find out more...
