access to fertility services, and exposing the ineqLJities
that black people face when accessing health and care
services And it was an especially proud rnoment for NAT

At the packed event, the Prime Minister thanked campaigners

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

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.

campaigning by National AIDS TrLJSt, alongside BHIVA IBritish

Unheard Voices
In April, we published Unheard Voices

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.

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

a new piece of research that specifically looked at
population groups who report the worst health and quality

UK, women, and trans people.
Through facilitated research groLJPS With peer
researchers, we explorèd the reasons v¢hy some grtsups

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

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.

discrimination complaints to court.
Unlawful discrimination must be addressed in the
broader context of HIV stigma and its impact on
people's lives.

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

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.

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

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.

We assessed the susceptibility of the charity s firiancial
statement5 to material rnisstatement. including how fraud
might occur by considering the key risks impacting the
financial statements.
Our audit procedures were designed to respond to risks of
material misstatement in the financial statements. recognising
that the risk of not detecting a material misstatement due to
fraud is higher than the risk of not detecting one resulting
from error, as fraud may involve deliberate concealment by,
lor example, forgery, misrepresentations or throLJgh collLJSiOn.
There are inherent limitations in the aLJdit procedures
performed and the further removed non-compliance with
laws and regulations is from the events and transactions
reflected in the financial statements, the less likely we 3re to
become aware of It.

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements as a whole are free from
material misstatement. whether due to fraud or error.
and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is
not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance
with ISAS IUKI will always detect a material misstatement
when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or
error and are considered material il, individLJally or in the
aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence
the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of
these financial statements.
