Imagine getting an HIV diagnosis and having no one to talk to who understands. The Gay Men’s Project offered peer support, monthly meet-ups, and connection for LGBTQ+ men living with HIV. It helped nearly 300 men last year. Help us bring it back.

Story

Help Me Bring Back the Gay Men’s Project

This year, I’m not just running — I’m reclaiming a space that gave so many of us strength, healing, and hope.

💬 “Imagine being diagnosed with HIV and having no one to talk to. No safe space. Just fear and stigma.”

That’s the reality for many LGBTQ+ men.

That’s why Positively UK created the Gay Men’s Project — a sanctuary where gay, bi & queer men could speak freely, connect deeply, and feel truly supported.

It wasn’t just a group. It was a lifeline.

A place where we could laugh, cry, and share without shame.

One member said, “It was the only space where I could truly exhale.”

But now, that breath has been taken away.

Funding cuts have shut the doors on a space that made us feel seen.

I’m running the Red Run to help bring it back — to restore the warmth, the welcome, and the vital support it offered.

Every donation is a step toward rebuilding that lifeline.

Toward telling every gay man living with HIV:

You are seen. You are loved. You are not alone.

Please stand with me.

Donate today and help turn heartbreak into hope. 💙
