We are very pleased to announce that we are an official event partner at this year’s World AIDS Day Red Run, which takes place on Saturday 27th November. The run is held every year to mark World AIDS Day to raise HIV/AIDS awareness across the UK and aims to raise much needed funds for the NHST and other HIV charities.
You can sponsor the NHST team here or sign up to run for us below!

Why run/walk for NHST?
The National HIV Story Trust is about filming, recording and preserving the history of those affected by the AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 90s. We are completely volunteer led and we need to raise funds to fulfil our aims, including creating media from our extensive archive, education for schools, podcasts, HIV and aging conferences, a fully interactive website and to support arts and culture projects. Please help us deliver on these aims by taking part in the Red Run and raising sponsorship.
Getting there: London Underground trains to Mile End, Overground trains to Hackney Wick, or local bus routes (277, 425, 8, 288). Sunday Street parking available nearby, as well as the car park located by St Mark’s Gate.
If you have any questions about the event or raising money for NHST please don’t hesitate to contact us at [email protected]
