After an inaugural event last year that guests acclaimed as “a fantastic night, for a fantastic cause”, “a heart-full evening” and “the best event of its kind I’ve ever been to,” National AIDS Trust will be bringing their flagship Drag Raise fundraising evening back to Diageo’s central London HQ on 3 July 2025.
Last year’s event raised more than £18,000 to support National AIDS Trust’s work to end HIV stigma and stop new HIV transmissions.
Ginger Johnson will host this year’s event on 3 July, which will also feature bespoke cocktails, delicious canapés, a popup MAC makeup artist station, a luxury auction and a raffle with some exclusive prizes, alongside performances from the star-studded lineup, including:
Tayce – winner of 2024’s Strictly Christmas Special, and one of the icons of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK – will also appear.
Häns Off – winner of Europe’s biggest Drag King competition MAN UP in 2022,
Sue Pertrouper – vibrant performer and HIV activist
MYNXIE – drag artist, DJ and nightlife stalwart, complete the line-up.
Ginger Johnson said: “I am delighted to be working with the National AIDS Trust and am honoured to play a small part in supporting the crucial work that they do. It’s going to be a fabulous event!”
