Herts Aid
is a HIV and Sexual Health support charity. We offer a range of
information and support services to anyone infected or affected by
HIV/AIDS, in and around Hertfordshire, together with sexual health
education and information services to schools, colleges and other
organisations.
Herts Aid started life as the “East Herts Support Group”. The group was
formed in 1991 to meet the needs of local people living with HIV and
AIDS. Herts Aid itself was launched on World AIDS Day 1992. The
organisation was first based in cedar Cottage, on the Goldings Estate
just outside Hertford, then in May 1997 we moved to Ware, and have been
in our current offices in Ware Town Centre since 2003. Herts Aid is a
lively, growing organisation. We currently have six full time and two
part time members of staff and together with our team of committed
volunteers, we support people countywide.
Our
services include: Outreach & Support, Complimentary Therapies, Support
Groups, Hardship Grants & Referrals to other agencies for issues such as
immigration, debt advice, benefits & housing. Health promotion services
include our Theatre in Education productions titled “It wont happen to
me” and “Love, Lies and Lullabies”, plus a wide range of HIV/safer sex/STI
prevention talks, which can be tailor made to suit the needs of the
individual.
Herts Aid is a registered
charity, and a company limited by guarantee.

Last year, a team of 20 staff and supporters
of Herts Aid were involved in Europe’s largest sponsored walk, to raise
awareness and support for those affected by HIV and AIDS. We raised
around £3000.00, making it our most successful year to date.
All funds raised from this event go directly
into the Herts Aid Hardship Fund, which is only replenished by
fundraising events such as this.
We want to make it bigger and better this
year, raising more money and offering help and hope to even more people
but we can only do this with your help.
Everybody’s welcome! It’s a sociable
event so come with friends or meet people on the day, and there’ll be
free entertainment at the main event village. And while the walk is only
10km, the difference made will go so much further – dramatically
improving the lives of people affected by HIV and AIDS in the UK and
internationally.
