Are you living with HIV in Cumbria, or caring for someone who is?
Are you living with HIV in Cumbria, or caring for someone who is? If so, you may be interested in a new initiative being promoted by CERC in partnership with a number of organisations and individuals who are committed to re launching a support network for people affected by this condition.
We are in the early stages of planning this group and would encourage anyone who is interested to get in touch and tell us what you think.
There are a couple of ways to get involved:
- If you are interested but have limited time to spare, you are welcome to support the group by attending as a member. At this stage we would like to know how many people would like to attend such a group, so if this would be useful to you then please let us know and we will let you know when the meetings start.
- If you would like to help create the group then we are keen to hear from you; you may have organising or fundraising skills that we could use to make the group a success, or you may wish to learn new skills and contribute to the development of the group in other ways. We would like to form a committee to oversee the running of the group, so if this would be of interest to you then please let us know as soon as possible.
We have created an online poll so that people can let us know what they think should happen; it can be found at http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/FWB8T9C.
Please take a few minutes to complete this, as it will help us to understand whether such a network is called for in Cumbria and what form it should take. If you have any questions please feel free to contact Liam Ryan on 01768 895242, or Val MacConnell on 07825 207046; we look forward to hearing from you.
