CATHOLICS FOR AIDS PREVENTION AND SUPPORT (CAPS) CIO ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 March 2025

Introduction

The trustees present their annual report and financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2025.

Objectives and activities

The objects of the charity are:

Catholics for AIDS Prevention and Support (CAPS) CIO achieves this through a combination of educational and awareness-raising activities, and the pastoral support which we make available to individuals or families directly affected by HIV.

CAPS Education consists of talks and presentations often but not exclusively in faith community settings (churches, schools, conferences etc.). These serve to raise awareness about HIV, providing accurate information and enhancing public health. They also reduce HIV-related stigma and increase understanding of people who are living with HIV (PLWH) in the UK and around the world.

CAPS works in partnership with NHS and Local Authority bodies which allows us to signpost people in need of specialist HIV support or medical intervention effectively. Our partnerships and the expertise we bring assists colleagues in the secular agencies to develop their understanding of the ‘intersection’ between issues of Christian faith generally and HIV, enabling them to respond more effectively and sensitively in regard to both patient/client care and matters of public health education, including promoting access to HIV testing in faith communities.

CAPS Pastoral Support is offered through Peer Support Groups in London, Manchester and Cambridgeshire for PLWH, and the respite weekends (‘retreats’) available nationally for families affected by HIV directly. Our volunteers support individuals, especially during times of sickness or other crisis and/or in the months following diagnosis through befriending activities. Our web-based resources and telephone help-line provide additional support.

Taken together these services provide all the benefits of ‘social support’ including: reducing isolation; supporting individuals who often have complex needs and are marginalized in additional ways such as immigration status, unemployment, or mental health difficulties; supporting those who may otherwise feel unable to access mainstream services; providing accurate information; reducing the effects of internalized stigma; helping people to consider issues around HIV disclosure; encouraging access and adherence to treatment; supporting PLWH to remain in or access employment; and contributing towards family cohesion.

In administering the charity, the trustees have complied with the duty under section 17(5), Charities Act 2011, to have regard to the public benefit guidance issued by the Charity Commission.

Achievements and performance

Structure, governance and management

Catholics for AIDS Prevention and Support (CAPS) is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (C.I.O.) formed by Constitution, registered with the Charity Commission on 18th October 2021 under number 1196193. (Formerly registered as CAPS Foundation Trust since 2003).

Constitutionally CAPS requires a minimum of 3 trustees and allows a maximum of 9. In addition, the trustees invite others to assist and advise as appropriate according to areas of expertise, as co-opted members of the Board. Trustees are often previously co-opted members who agree to formal appointment and have demonstrated a commitment to and understanding of CAPS aims and objectives.

We appoint trustees who have a good understanding of HIV and its effects on individuals and in society. We seek a wide distribution of skills and experience with the Board. A majority of trustees are also PLWH with Christian faith. We are committed to the internationally-agreed principle of the meaningful involvement of PLWH (MIPA) in all aspects of services decision-making and delivery.

Diversity, inclusion, representation in Decision Making .

Since formation in 2003 CAPS Trustees group has always included PLWH. A core value of CAPS is that a diverse group of people who are also representative of the communities we seek to serve be meaningfully involved in the decision making of our charity, at every level. Since 2010 the representation of PLWH as Trustees has been above 50% in every year. Currently CAPS Trustees group consists of 78% PLWH; 78% from Black African or Black British background and 22% gay people. Our Trustee Board including co-opted advisors is 45% male 55% female; 70% PLWH; 60% Black African or Black British; 30% gay.

We welcomed Victoria Morris, Matilda Makombe, Sheillah Mushunje and Mariam Yusuf, all of whom have been co-opted Trustee Board advisory members as formally appointed Trustees this year.

Peer support provision and pastoral support for PLWH .

5 groups in the UK with 6 regular meetings per month and additional meetings of varied frequency. Most peer-support meetings take place face to face and a Positive Faith group also meets online once a month.

Our regular in-person peer support groups have continued to meet in London. The South West London Fellowship Group (SWLF) meet twice monthly and the Positive Faith Peer Support (PF London) group once monthly. Typical attendance at each SWLF meeting is 28 people and 26 people at PF London.

Our Positive Faith Manchester group (PF Manchester) has met once a month, typical attendance 18 people.

Positive Faith East (Cambridgeshire) members have met each month with fewer members due to the known challenges of convening peer-support groups in the region.

Our London based group for Gay men living with HIV continues to meet once a month with typical attendance of 12 each meeting.

Bus fares for those who need this. Throughout the year approx. 140 PLWH received direct support from attendance at a peer-support group.

CAPS’ has delivered 90 Peer Support Group meetings & 3 Residential weekends for PLWH this year. The ministry has brought together approx. 160 unique members, activists, and volunteers. During meetings, members pray together, share a healthy meal, and provide mutual support and encouragement.

CATHOLICS FOR AIDS PREVENTION AND SUPPORT (CAPS) CIO ANNUAL REPORT YEAR ENDED 31 March 2025

Residential Weekends

Two residential weekends took place at The Briery Centre & Douai Abbey for a total of 39 adults. Three mothers were enabled to bring their children to enjoy a short break. Fr Martin Newell CP accompanied members for our annual summer weekend at Douai. Fr Peter Kinsella accompanied members for our Spring weekend at The Briery. 16 Trustee Board members met for a strategy and planning w/end at Douai. (see CAPS Strategy below)

Members (service-users) feedback .

Members met on several occasions, in Manchester and London, to discuss the benefits of belonging to our peer support groups and suggest improvements in the services delivered. Approximately 45 members were involved in consultation and high levels of satisfaction with the support provided was expressed. Members especially valued the ‘sense of family’, friendship and mutual support.

Individual case-work & support .

Individuals often need more support than can be provided from within our community of peer support volunteers. For example, members undergoing a mental health crisis or in extreme poverty or facing immigration or legal issues. In these cases, or where more expert help and advice is needed our team assist members to access the advice and/or support they need. This often includes some intensive support from our workers to accompany and advocate for individuals where we this support is needed and can be effective.

For example:

A family have received intensive and sustained support with managing debt following a period of ill-health. This involved twice monthly support sessions over six months, help to understand letters and assistance contacting debt collection agencies. Importantly, support relieved the anxiety caused by constant demands which often feel overwhelming. Knowing that they were not alone undoubtedly contributed to improved mental health and family relationships. Creating a plan to address the debts with the parents and completing a sustainable household budget empowered them for the future. Concretely 2 debts were written off and we negotiated a payment plan with the Energy supply company which achieved a positive balance on the account over an eight-month period.

Ten individuals seeking asylum have been accompanied to find proper legal-advice and case-work support from specialist agencies. Again, each person received intensive one-one support to understand the steps in legal processes & help with the costs of travel. After careful consultation with each person, we have worked closely with legal teams and have submitted detailed supporting evidence in each case.

36 individuals received one-to-one casework support of whom: 83% are Black African & 14% White – 72% Heterosexual & 28% LGBT women and men – 70% unemployed & 33% with no recourse to public funds – 7% Homeless & 12.5% in Hostel accommodation. Service-user survey data feedback: 89% reported support was ‘Extremely Helpful’ & 8.3% ‘Somewhat Helpful’.

“Another door has opened for me. Thank you so much for all your support”

“You are the only person I talk to about all of this”

“You have been like family to me. You have helped us with everything. Like Father, like mother”

Asylum Seekers

CAPS continues to provide social and emotional support for a significant number of PLWH who are asylum seekers, failed asylum seekers, or have no recourse to public funds.

Hardship Grants

Hardship grants of £2,500 were distributed to individuals during the year (2024: £2,100).

Social media and communications .

Regular Social-media posts to inform & educate continue bi-monthly.

We have published a new course designed specifically for schools, parishes, and congregations – freely available on our website. This new resource, based on the existing Positive-Faith film series, is part of our ongoing efforts to support faith communities in understanding the impact of HIV and how to better include and support people living with HIV. The course provides practical guidance and can be used in classroom settings or group discussions within churches. We have also revamped our sections for people living with HIV (PLWH), offering a new, easy to consume presentation of the two series: Living with HIV and Faith and HIV. This new ‘course-like’ presentation allows individuals to follow the content at their own pace and save their progress for future sessions.

A Christian presence in society and the HIV sector – Education, Awareness & Advocacy

CAPS continues to receive referrals from NHS HIV clinics (inc. St. Georges and Guys & St. Thomas NHS Trusts) for individual support for those PLWH who are especially isolated.

We continue to work in partnership with the Metro and African Advocacy Foundation (AAF) HIV agencies as part of the South London Positive People’s Network.

We collaborated with local NHS Community services to provide additional support ‘in-the community’ in particularly complex cases for very vulnerable PLWH. (see case work above)

‘ONE VOICE’ Network

Our Pastoral Support worker has attended meetings of a collaborative of agencies whose aim is to advocate and provide leadership for Black communities affected by HIV and health inequalities. Many Positive Faith members report experiences of prejudice & discrimination in the Health Sector and elsewhere. As a majority of our Positive Faith members are Black PLWH our experience will be a valuable contribution to the One Voice network.

CHIVA Conference – Birmingham

CAPS Trustee John Thornhill & Pastoral Support Worker Abigail Chakanyuka attended the Children’s HIV charity CHIVA Conference in Birmingham, March 15th. Our display prompted much interest from the delegates attending.

New South London support services for PLWH – ‘BRIDGES’

CAPS trustee Tyrone Allee gave a presentation at the launch in Kennington of the re-structured ‘Bridges’ support services for PLWH. Under contract from the boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark & Lewisham (LSL) CAPS is one of the providers along with partner agencies African Advocacy Foundation (AAF), METRO & Positively UK. A number of the Positive Faith members attended. http://bridgeslondon.org.uk/

POSITIVELY UK Bi-Annual Conference

Two delegates represented CAPS at the Positively UK Conference in central London, in June.

Positive Faith members support the local community

The Positive Faith Gay Men’s Group, South West London Fellowship and Positive Faith London peer-support meet at The Old Laundry Community Centre in Stockwell. CAPS volunteers led the catering team providing a meal for sixty senior citizens living locally, in collaboration with the Stockwell Residents Association & The Young People Matter team, who are also based at the Centre.

Work-Experience placement

A Secondary school student was placed with CAPS’ Pastoral Worker for one week to undertake workexperience. The student wrote a short reflective piece for CAPS NEWS in which she spoke about how much she enjoyed her experience. She learned about our work and issues related to HIV in general. She gave a presentation in her school on her placement.

CAPS Trustee Tyrone Allee receives Award for services to the Black community

Tyrone Allee was given a special Metropolitan Police Award for services to the community. The award 'celebrates an individual or group, who has actively worked to empower and uplift the community, striving for positive change by helping to break down barriers between the Metropolitan Police Service and the Black Community.' Amongst one of his many roles of service for others Tyrone has been a Notting Hill Carnival Ambassador for the past 15 years.

Positive Faith members and CAPS Activists - PATCHWORK QUILT Project

Members & activists have begun a project to create a new patchwork display that visualises some of our stories. It is hoped that the eventual quilt will be available for public display.

A voice in the Church for people living with HIV - Collaboration and HIV Education in religious settings

CAPS has continued to strengthen our partnership with the Congregation of the Passion (Religious Order). We are hopeful that continued collaboration will lead to plans for a more sustainable and secure future for the CAPS ministry. Several members attended various meetings with both the Congregation (clergy) and the Community of the Passion which includes clergy and lay people who have a serious commitment to action for social justice in the world. CAPS delegates attended the annual Passionist Partners gathering at Minsteracres Conference Centre in September, where the future of social-justice charities supported by The Passionists was discussed ahead of the Congregation’s upcoming 2025 Chapter.

CAPS Chair & activists meet for tea with Fr. Timothy Radcliffe OP

CAPS Chair Lazarus Mungure led a small delegation of CAPS activists to join Fr Timothy Radcliffe OP at Blackfriars, Oxford, for tea and cake in April. Timothy has been a Patron of CAPS for over a decade. The group were able to update him on the challenges that the members of Positive Faith face. Increasingly, refugee and migrant PLWH have joined our Positive Faith community. We discussed the accumulated trauma(s) of those fleeing war or seeking asylum because of harsh anti-gay legislation in their home countries, and the ways in which CAPS offers support. Although Fr Timothy was unable to attend our 2023 Symposium(s) on Faith & HIV in person, Lazarus was able to thank him for the video message that he sent and his emphasis on friendship & inclusion which delegates appreciated. The Vatican-led Global Consultation process – the ‘Synod on Synodality’ - was a topic for discussion and the group were able to thank Timothy for mentioning the significance of the AIDS pandemic at the first Synod gathering in Rome, October 2023.

CAPS Patron elevated to Cardinal

CAPS trustees and Positive Faith members are proud and delighted that Pope Francis elevated Fr Timothy Radcliffe OP to the College of Cardinals at a consistory on December 8th 2024. This is very well-deserved recognition of Timothy’s sensitive teaching and wise prophetic leadership in the Church over a lifetime. Cardinal Timothy has been a vocal advocate for the needs of PLWH: “The challenge for the Church is to bring back people with HIV as full members of the community — not only for what they can receive, but for what they can give. God will not desert them.”

Conference on 25 years of LGBT Ministry in the Catholic Church in England

This year, 2024, marks the 25[th] anniversary of LGBT+ Catholics Westminster – a ministry and outreach for LGBT people provided by the Catholic Diocese of Westminster. CAPS Director Vincent Manning is a founding member and former Pastoral Council member. The ministry was formed in response to the 1999 ‘Admiral Duncan’ Pub bombing by a far-right activist. CAPS members attended a Conference in May at the Jesuit Centre in Farm Street. (See full report in CAPS News 2024)

CAPS Strategy & Planning Weekend – Douai Abbey – September 2024

The Chair & Trustees Board were delighted to welcome Passionist priest, Fr. John Friel CP for their planning weekend mee�ng also at Douai Abbey in September. In his feedback Fr John was impressed by the commitment and dedica�on of CAPS ac�vists. Hearing the accounts of PLWH with complex needs who have been supported by CAPS he remarked that the Posi�ve Faith ministry should be more widely known. Strategic planning will con�nue throughout 2025 but trustees have agreed to priori�se pastoral support for PLWH who are most disadvantaged especially Asylum-seekers and Refugees.

Global Consultation Process in the RC Church – The Synod on Synodality - CAPS report on HIV & Faith studied at Vatican Synod

CAPS submited a detailed report on the issues for PLWH in prepara�on for the Second Synod on Synodality Session at the Va�can in October 2024 POSITIVE FAITH - PEER SUPPORT FOR PEOPLE LIVING WITH HIV: Being a synodal church with a mission to be Good News for others was submited via CARITAS INTERNATIONALIS and will be available for the study groups in prepara�on for the main gathering. It is the only substan�al

contribu�on from anywhere in the world that raises the issues at the intersec�on of HIV and faith. It suggests the Posi�ve Faith ministry is a prophe�c model of what a truly inclusive and listening church might be.

As a further contribu�on to the synodal process, Dr Vincent Manning was invited by the European Forum of LGBTI+ Chris�an Groups in collabora�on with Global Network of Rainbow Catholics to give a virtual presenta�on on the topic of ‘Understanding LGBTI+ Vulnerabili�es’ as part of their Synodal Process webinar series. Vincent described some of the challenges faced by PLWH and argued that the LGBT Chris�an community has a special responsibility to include PLWH in their efforts for reform in the Church. htps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D9ocWx_TIYE&t=1536s

CAPS Director contributes to book on Catholic lay-ministry in Britain in the 20th Century.

The history of how the Catholic Church responded to the AIDS crisis is not well documented. Vincent Manning makes an important contribu�on documen�ng some aspects of the Catholic AIDS Link (CAL) ministry from 1988-1999. Following the first na�onal Catholic Conference on HIV at the Dominican Spode House in 1986 Manning describes why the Bishops Conference of England & Wales found it difficult to offer the na�onal leadership that was needed at a �me of crisis. Instead, lay people took leadership roles and became effec�vely, the Catholic voice for PLWH in this country. CAL is the predecessor charity of CAPS & in his postscript the author describes the closure of CAL and the founding of CAPS & the Posi�ve Faith HIV peersupport ministry. Manning, V.

The Boydell Press.

World AIDS Day Mass

We sponsored the annual World AIDS Day Mass with the theme “Journeying Together for an HIV-free World” on Tuesday, 26 November 2024. Fr. Brendan Callaghan SJ presided at The Church of the Immaculate conception, Farm Street, Mayfair, London. An estimated 100 people attended. CAPS Banners and a display were created to raise awareness & located in the church for a week.

Publications

Our annual report and magazine ‘CAPS News 2024’ has been distributed to approx. 1,500 people in the UK and abroad.

Financial review and reserves policy

Total income of £105,604 was raised during the year (2024: £126,243). Generous and timely funding from trusts, foundations, and religious orders enabled CAPS to support PLWH at risk with modest but vital sums of money and to continue supporting paid staff. Full details are set out in the notes to the accounts. The result for the year was a surplus of £11,358 (2024: deficit of £24,737).

The charity needs to hold reserves to ensure resilience against unexpected costs or income shortfalls. The Trustees estimate that twelve months would be needed to secure adequate replacement funding or, in the worst case, to allow for a planned withdrawal of services, which, if not managed carefully and sensitively, could significantly impact the most vulnerable people living with HIV whom we presently serve. The Trustees have therefore determined that unrestricted funds of not less than twelve months’ operating costs should be held in reserve, based on the budget for the forthcoming year. At 31 March 2025, this target amounted to £110,000, and actual unrestricted reserves amounted to £181,291.

Future Plans

Maintaining pastoral support

As a small grass-roots charity, principally run on a voluntary basis, CAPS is committed to the pastoral support aspects of our work before all else. Enabling PLWH to come together in order to benefit from the social support that they give and receive from each other, on a peer-to-peer basis, remains our first priority.

CAPS’ most vulnerable members with the most complex needs and situations are falling between the ‘gaps’ in mainstream provision. Many who attend our groups can be described as having complex needs. We are also seeing a population of PLWH over 50 and growing into old age, when health issues generally and the risks of isolation can become more acute. CAPS Trustees recognize that many members, at times, require more support than can be provided for on a volunteer peer to peer basis.

In addition to beneficial social support, evidence suggests that compassionate service for others upon which our model relies, may have survival benefits for PLWH.

See also CAPS Strategy & Planning Weekend above

Strategic planning and sustainability

We intend to continue to develop CAPS C.I.O. as a Charity so that we are sustainable for the longer term. This may mean recruiting additional members of staff to our small team so that we can more adequately meet the needs of PLWH.
