Terrence Higgins Trust

The Trust prioritises HIV prevention, care, and support for underserved groups, including Black African migrants, gay and bisexual men, older people with HIV, LGBTQ+ communities, ethnic minorities, and those facing poverty or marginalisation. Funded activities encompass targeted education on PrEP and condom use, peer-led wellbeing programmes, hardship support, employment initiatives, therapeutic groups, advocacy campaigns, and pilots for healthy ageing and relationships. Funding is typically directed to UK-wide projects via commissions, invitations, or tenders, partnering mainly with experienced medium-to-large HIV and sexual health organisations or statutory bodies; grassroots groups may qualify for specific pilots or hardship relief.

The Trust works with a range of partners, including community groups, experienced medium-to-large HIV and sexual health organisations, and statutory bodies.

Grassroots groups may be eligible for specific pilots or hardship relief. The Trust does not accept unsolicited applications, so potential partners should engage through networks or monitor announcements.
