Events Support Volunteer - Project93
Project93 (originally Staffordshire Buddies) was launched on 1 December 1993 (World AIDS Day) to support people living with HIV. Today, the charity delivers support through three service streams:
Kaleidoscope – LGBTQ+ support
Staffordshire Buddies – HIV support
Sexual Wellbeing Hub – sexual wellbeing and healthy relationships
Project93 provides counselling, support groups, education and training, prevention and testing services, and LGBTQ+ accreditation. We work with schools, businesses, prisons, and organisations across Staffordshire.
Our mission is to provide support, advice, and education around sexuality, gender, HIV, and sexual wellbeing, helping to build understanding and acceptance of everyone’s differences.
