This World AIDS Day, we're hosting a series of online 'Bitesize HIV' workshops. Come and spend an hour with us to learn about HIV, what has changed and what we need to know about HIV in the South West.

This Black History Month, we are celebrating Black Contributions to Sexual Health and LGBTQ Advocacy.

Bisi Alimi is a British-Nigerian LGBTQ+ rights advocate and HIV activist who made history as the first person to publicly come out as gay on Nigerian television.

Since then, he has continued to challenge homophobia, HIV stigma and discrimination, advocating for greater visibility, acceptance and equality.

At Eddystone, we know that open conversations and positive representation are powerful tools in breaking down stigma. People like Bisi remind us why visibility matters and why everyone deserves to live openly, safely and without discrimination.

Lady Phyll is a Black British LGBTQ+ activist and co-founder of UK Black Pride, an organisation that creates spaces for Black LGBTQ+ people to connect, celebrate their identities, and feel seen and represented.

At The Eddystone Trust, we want to champion people like Lady Phyll who build and strengthen communities.

We know that a sense of belonging, connection and representation can have a positive impact on our health and wellbeing, helping people feel supported, accepted and empowered to be themselves.
