Crusaid and THT will have renewed anti-poverty strategy

Crusaid and Terrence Higgins Trust merge

 

 
 
The merged organisation aims to strengthen fundraising for HIV in the UK as well as to retain a safety net for people with HIV who are living in poverty.
 
Sir Nick Partridge, the Chief Executive of the Terrence Higgins Trust, said: “I’m delighted to confirm that Crusaid and Terrence Higgins Trust have merged.

“The merger will preserve the Crusaid Hardship Fund in a very challenging economic climate and help ensure that people with HIV have the ongoing support that they so vitally need.

“We are also looking forward to combining our experience and research for a renewed anti-poverty strategy in support of people living with HIV in the UK.”
 
Jordan Hay, Chief Executive of Crusaid, said: “We initiated this merger to ensure that our hardship fund can continue to make a vital difference to the ever-increasing numbers of people diagnosed with HIV each year in the UK.

“Terrence Higgins Trust shares our vision and values and we are excited about the opportunities to support people with HIV that this merger presents.”
