With this government, you will not be alone in the fight against HIV. We will stand together - for as long as it takes - both in memory of those we have lost and in support of those who are living with HIV today. I'm determined that this generation will be the one that ends new cases of HIV within England by 2030. This was a prtsud moment for National AIDS Trust.

GG When the legislation changed, it literally gave me my dreams back. It's made me so happy. Ala. HIV services at the crossroads With powerful testimony from both organisations and seryice users, HIVServices at the Crossroads makes the case for urgent action to protect vital HIV services - essential ntst only to meet the UK'S 2030 goal. but to enSLJre long-temi support for everyone living with and affected by HIV. In May, we hosted a parliamentary reception to launch our landmark report, HIVServices at the Crossroads. Drawing on evidence from over SO HIV organisations and more than 300 people living with HIV, the report revealed a voluntary sector In crisi8- threatening both the UK'S 2030 targets and essential support lor people living with HIV. The findings v¢ere stark.. Two-thirds ol organisations have had to CLJt stall, close services. merge. or use reserves to stay afloat. Just three In 50 felt able to fLJlly mèet demand In the last five years. Inequalities remain severe. with people outside major cities facing a postcode lottery in access to support Yet four In five people Iivino with HIV reported Improved wellbeing after accessing voluntary sector services Despite chronic underfunding. HIV voluntary, community and social enterprises IVCSES) continue to deliver Iife-changing. and often lifesaving, support. addressing health inequalities that statutory services overlook From peer mentoring to housing advice, they tackle 800/0 of the factors shaping health outcomes. An unfair law changed because of us After a delay caused by the General Election and change of Government. we were thrilled to see a historic breakthrough in October.. the removal of the unjust. homophobic, and unscientific law that prevented people living with HIV who are LGBT+, as well as anyone wishing to donate eggs to an HIV-negative person, from becoming parents through fertility treatment. This victory was the result of years of determined campaigning by National AIDS TrLJSt, alongside BHIVA IBritish HIV Association) and BASHH18ritish Association ol Sexu Health ancj HIVI. The law v¢as discriminatory, outdated, and not Supported by 5cience- and we are proud to have played a central role In securing its removal.

Thanks to your efforts. this barrier has finally been overturned - paving the way for families to be created and lives to be brought Into being that otherwise would not have been possible. It means so much to people like Alan". 'As the eldest ol four, from a close-knit family, children have always been important to me, so the realisation that I would not be allowed, because ol my HIV diagnosis really affected the relalionship I was in at Ihe time. I felt so sad. I want a house lull of kids, a home that reminds me ol the one I had. National AIDS Trust educated me on the specifics ol the legislation, an(J I got angry! I was determined to support their campaign in any way I could. When the legislation changed. It literally gave me my dreams back husband. kids. the whole'lvhite picket fence life. It's made me so happy. The report highlights the urgent need to safeguard these seNices and sets out clear recommendations, including.. Stronger partnerships between governments and the voluntary sector to deliver HIV Action Plans. Multi-year funding that covers core costs to ensure sustainability. A national guarantee of high-quality psychosocial and peer SLJpport. Comprehensive programmes to re-engage people who have fallen out ol care. Greater investment in voluntary sector-led prevention, testing, and anti-gtigma initiatives. Page 9 National AIDS Trust Annual Report 2024125
CHAMPION Standing with communities Unheard Voices In April, we published Unheard Voices Understanding the landscape of London HIV commissioning and communtrty Involvement of Blaok Afrioari 3nd Garibbean communtrties, in collaboration with One Voice Network, a collective of Black-led organisations working to improve the health and wellbeing of Black commLJnities in the UK allected by HIV. Drawing on in-depth consultation with London local authority health commissioners, the report sets OLit practical recommendations to ensure meaningful engagement with Black communities in HIV service design. Its aim Is to support Commissioners to better Integrate Black African and Caribbean voices Into local commissioning and service development. Unheard VOICES also highlights the power of co- production where cornmunity members are funded to help shape and design HIV services while calling for greater investment to realise this approach fully. We were honoured that Winnie Byanyirna, Executive Director of UNAIDS, and Florence Eshalomi MP, Co-chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on HIV, AIDS and Sexual Health, contributed forewords to the publication, underlining its importaiice and urgency. GG Community leadership is not an idealistic dream; it is the proven route to impact. The message of this report could be summed up in this call to action: for the HIV response to succeed, let communities lead.

wrongly believed HIV could be passed on through spitting The reality of HIV discrimination 'Knowing that my health status had been shared without my permission sent me straight into a deep depression... It was the darkest time ol my life. The trauma, grief and pain were so great that I have not been able to work since. It has drained me." In May, we published new research which uncovered the concerning experience of discrimination lor people living with HIV. Despite legal protections under the Equality Act and Data Proteclion legislation, OLir report Eouality in name only? shows that breachès are v¢idesprea(J across healthcare. workplaces, and everyday services Our findinos make clear that tackling HIV discrimination is not just a matter ol law It is a matter ol dignity, safety, and human rights. HIV inequalities work: spotlight on asylum, PIP. and health equity. The report brings together a wide range ol evidence and highlight5 a systemic failure to collect and record cases of Hlv-related discrimination. With Inadequate systerns In place. this form of discrimination remains hidden and underreported. Making sure that people who are most affected. or at risk from. HIV have equitable access to treatment and prevention and are treated fairly In the healthcare system and across society remains a key priority for National AIDS Trust. Through our own casework service which provides free. confidcntial support to pcoplc facing discrimination, we have already supported 161 individuals in just over two years, with cases rising year on year. Surveys of healthcare professionals across the UK, Europe and Central Asia further expose the scale ol the problem, with alarming gaps in knowledge even among trained stall. In tsne NHS survey ol 1,454 stall, nearly a quarter1230/01 wrongly believed HIV Could be passed on through spitting. and more than half admitted they would feel worried when taking blood from someone living with HIV. Alongside powerful real-life testimonies. the report sets out four urgent recommendations to end Hlv-related discrimination-. A new research and report this year, Beyond Positive Voices la partnership project with Positively UK) was a new piece of research that specifically looked at population groups who report the worst health and quality ol life outcomes - young people, people not born In the UK, women, and trans people. Through facilitated research groLJPS With peer researchers, we explorèd the reasons v¢hy some grtsups are consistently receiving a poorer experience ol living with HIV. and what actions can be taken to address this. As the facilitators whts led the research grtsups said in a joint foreword for the report.. "We know that HIV doesn't have to define us. and yet for many it still does. as a manageable chronic condition, HIV still carries so much weight and history behind It. where the burden of such diagnosis sits on the shoulders of us living with HIV. We shouldn't have to just survive with HIV., we should be encouraged to thrive despite our HIV. Throughout the year we have continued to engage with civil servants, MPS, and Ministers, to highlight the health needs ol people seeking asylum and people who need appropriate SLipport from the benefits system to live a good qLiality ol life. We have produced policy briefings on how changino the asylum system can have multiple benefits by allowing people seekiiig agylum to work and are engaged with change5 proposed on Personal Independence Payments. Employers and service providers must put in place proper procedures to prevent discrimination and act swiftly when it occurs. Public authorities must improve the collection and reporting of Hlv-related discrimination. Aore time must be given for people to bring discrimination complaints to court. Unlawful discrimination must be addressed in the broader context of HIV stigma and its impact on people's lives. One former NHS nurse, whose health status was Linlawlully shared, told LJS.

PROTECT Defending rights Now in its second year, our free Discrimination Advice SeNice remained in high demand, providing vital help to people living with HIV who face stigma and unfair treatment. Our dedicated caseworker offers confidential advice, legal support, and advocacy for anyone experiencing discriminalion becaLise ol their HIV status, empowering individuals to act, make official complaints, and defend their rights. In 2024 alone, we supported 19 new people navigating discrimination. GG National AIDS Trust's discrimination service is not just invaluable; it was a lifeline for me while navigating an awful situation. The knowledge, understanding, and compassion from the service made me feel like I wasn't alone, and most importantly, it affirmed the wrongdoing I had felt Alongside this direct support, we worked with the Information Commissioner's Office IICOI, the UK'S data protection regulator. to irnprove protections for people living with HIV whose status Is disclosed without consent.

Winnie featured in one of the first World AIDS Day photoshoots. Here's her story.. '1 rernember vividly during that time, I was told It was a challenge to find people living with HIV to front the campaign, due to stigma So, fashion models were hired and a few of us living with HIV were placed among the models to show that it was not possible to spot a person living with HIV just by looking at them. And here we are, 20 years on, still talking about HIV, and still talking about the stigma surrounding it - although this year we didn't need to rely on fashion modelsl 'It's important, as people living with HIV, to show our faces, to communicate that. while we still have the chronic condititsn, many ol us on HIV treatment cannot pass on HIV to anyone else. However. new HIV transmissions arè still happening, mainly due to undiagnosed tsr untreated HIV. and this needn't be the case. We were delighted to launch our new website in May, designed to help LJS connect more ellectively with the people who need us most. The refreshed site now reflects the vibrancy ol our tirand, using bold, people-locused imagery and storytelling to bring our mission to life. With a far smoother user experience than our previous site. it Is now easier to navigate, guiding visitors on a journey that not only inforrns but also Inspires long-term support.

Fundraisin9 and supporter Impact Like many organisations in the HIV sector, we have been operating in extremely challenging financial circumstances this year. Thèse pressures meant we did not meet our fundraising target. Once again, World AIOS Day was our most successful campaign of the year. Each year, we invite SLipporters to wear the iconic red ribbon standing shoulder to shoulder with people impacted by HIV. past and present, while calling for a fairer future. In 2024 we distributed 126.000 ribbtsns. and were moved by messages from supporters about what wearing one meant.. "It's Important to recognise the stEPS we've made. the work that needs to continue, and remember the lives we have10st.' Even so. our small but dedicated fundraising team achieved something remarkable.. raising over 21 million to support our work. A particular highlight was the launch of our fundraising initiative, Drag Raise. Drag ha5 always been more than performance- It Is a powerful form of activism and self-expression. Throughout the HIV epidemic, the drag community has played a vital role.. challenging stigma, providing solidarity, and uplifting communities living with and affected by HIV. Bringing drag and fundraising together felt both natural and inspiring. The initiative launched in July at a flagship event generously sponsored by Diageo and M.A.C. Cosmetics. With stLJnning performances from Chèddar Gorgeous, Ella Vaday, Vanity Milan, and Hans Off, the night was a celebration ol art, activism. and community With all costs covered by our sponsors. we were proud to raise 218.635 in profit- and thrilled that both Diageo and M A C. Cosrnetics pledged support for a second event In 2025. Across all campaigns and events. our community helped raise an Impressive £83.245. Highlights included a record- breaking Red Run, which brought in £8,651 a 4300/0 increase on the previous year- and our most successful year yet for World AIDS Day station and street fundraising, boosted by our striking TFL poster campaign featuring Layton Williams. We remain deeply gratelLJI to our long-term supporters, M.A.C. Viva Glam, Gilead Sciences, Viiv Healthcare, and the George Michael Foundation, lor their oenerous grant funding.

Reserves workforce and remaining members of staff working harder to deliver our objectives, in the future, we may have to occasionally take difficult decisions to charge lor our expertise, which we will decide on a case-by-case basis. We will also explore more cost-efficient ways of delivering OLJr objective5. including developing partnerships for programme delivery and sharing back-office functions with allied and aligned organisations. Through these efforts. we aim to strengthen our financial resilience and ensurtr the long-teim sustainability of the organisation. Nevertheless. the reduction in our available reserves and the general outlook for the sector means that there is a material uncertainty related to going concern as disclosed in note 1.2 ol the accounting policies. National AIDS Trust reviews Its reserves policy annually to ensure compliance with best practice. The policy is designed to ensure that the organisation has both running costs and wind down costs. Our reserves policy is that the organisation should hold sufficient free reserves within a range in which the lowest amount Is the figure which equates to wind dov¢r) costs plus two months, running costs and the higher level is six months of total running costs. For the year ending 2024- 25, this range was £542.394 - £732,436. As 0130 June 2025, the charity's total reserves stoc at 2684,417. Of the total reserves. 299.781 related to restricted reserves carried forward. the majority of which Is to be expended In 2025-26. A further £262.479 related to the restricted permanent endowment investment. Total unrestricted funds stood at £322,157, of which £10.856 is Invested in the Charity's office equipment and is not available tor general use. On the balance sheet date, the Charity's free reserves stood at £311,300. Because our reserves are now below the threshold which we consider comfortable, it is OLir intention to Increase this over the coming and future years and we v¢ill be mindful that further reductions may be necessary in 2025-26. though Income targets for the first quarter of the urrent year are encouraging. In previous years. the Finance & General Purposes IF&GPI Committee of the Board of Trustees reviewed the charity's position every quarter, in the context of the reserves policy, and cxamincd thc forccast cash flow for thc following twclvc months, including capital expenditure. Given the challenging economic position faced by NAT, and indeed all charities, F&GP has decided to increase the frequency of cashllow scrutiny to every two months. Conclusions from these reviews are reported to the Board. Furthermore, NAT has implemented several cost-saving measLJres to ensLJre long-term sustainability. These include an organisational restructure and a transition to a more remote and hybrid way of working. allowing us to relinquish our permanent office space and redueè overhèad eogts. Following these measures, we will review our reserves policy to reflect the new financial landscape. Legacy and endowment plans We continue to be grateful for the restricted endowment donation from the U.S. estate ol Gary Philipp, which Is structured to allow us to spend income raised on work which contributes to combating stigma and discrimination experienced by people living with. at risk of or affected by HIV. Trustees and senior leadership have established a framework lor investment that allows for mediLJm risk based on planned long-term investrnent, in a fund run by CCLA that is consistent with our organisational values. In the financial year 2024-25, the Iiivestment reduced In value due to market forces and therefore we decided to allow the fund to appreciate further, to allow for greater withdrawals In future year5. The trustees as a body hold the permanent endowment behalf of the Charity as required by company law. Investment policy The charity's permanent endowment Is invested In CCLA Ethical Investment units which allows the charity to hold a more diversified portfolio than direct investment at the value ol investments held. The permanent endowment is required to be invested to produce income and gains, and the initial capital cannot be Ljsed for charitable expenditure. The fund aims to provide a total return (growth in capital and Income) over a five-year Investment horizon. Although the investments fell in valLJe during the first year, the trustees will monitor how the fund performs against long term aims once the fund has been held lor a longer peritsd. CCLA Ethical Investment units consider environmental, social and governance IESGI factors in the Investment process and use Investor engagement to drive change. At the same time we remain firmly committed to rebuilding our reserves and bringing them back in line with our policy targets. To achieve this, NAT will continue to focus on prudent financial management, income diversification, and the growth ol unrestricted income through targeted fundraising and partnership development. Historically, our staff have been very willing to participate in projects and engaoe with stakeholders freely. With a slightly depleted Page 20 National AIDS Trust Annual Report 2024125

So I feel like I can help people by telling it. Ay name is Alfredo, and I was born to a single mother in South America in 1987. My mum put me into an orphanage as soon as I was born, and I was adopted by my second family, and brought to the UK, to a home in the North East tsl England. y second mum was a special needs teacher, so she realised early on that I was aLJtistic.

But I hadn't told my employers that I was aLJtistic, and I was hiding my addiction too. It was difficult for me because I was lying about who I was.

GG Becky's Story My name's Becky, I'm 50, and I work as an executive assistant - but I'm also a personal trainer and running coach. I've always been fit and healthy, so when I was diagnosed with HIV in 2012, it came as a huge shock. I had been unwell for a few weeks that summer, but I V¢OLJldn't have thoLight to get tested had I not received a message telling me I might have bèen at risk. When my GP- who has known me since childhood - gave me the news, he held my hands and reassured me that modern treatments work. Early diagnosis meant my immune system was still strong. and within two weeks of starting treatment through the START study my viral load became undetectable. Despite this, there were dark days I felt angry. scared. and overwhelmed. Bijt my backgroLJnd in fitness helped me stay disciplined and focused I found huge support through a local women's HIV group in Bristol- a safe space where I could share openly and learn from other& My friends, family and colleagues were also kind and SLJpportive, which made all the difference. I quickly realised how underrepresented women are in conversations about HIV. That motivated me to speak out, edLicate others and challenge stigma. I've sometimes laced negativity - even from healthcarè professionals to use those experiences to raise awarenèss and push for better understanding. Over time, I've become involved In advocacy work, Includino joining National AIDS Trust's Community Advisory Group. where I help represent women living with HIV and learn from others in the community. In 2019. I was humbled to be awarded an MBE for services to HIV awareness. Today. I continue to live a very active life, coaching runners and leading fitness classes. HIV has Changed my life, but it hasnl limited me. I'm still the same woman I was before my dlagnosls- lust older. stronger. and. hopefully. a Illtle wlser.
