Lunch Positive the HIV charity that provides a healthy meal every Friday for people who are HIV positive has been awarded £2,000 from the Cooperative Community Fund to help towards the cost of venue hire to deliver the weekly HIV lunch club.
Gary Pargeter, Volunteer Project Manager:
“We’re delighted to have received this funding. We rely on funding from a range of trusts and foundations, all of which is awarded annually and increasingly often uncertain. The Cooperative has supported us since we started in 2009, and we’re proud that our service identifies with its core values of self-help, self-responsibility, equity and solidarity. Lunch Positive continues to see new and increasing numbers of people who make it a thriving social space. The lunch club is upstairs at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church, every Friday between 12 noon – 3 p.m. Lunch is at 1 p.m. and costs £1.50.”

Scene was founded in Brighton in 1993, at a time when news stories about Pride protests were considered radical.
Since then, Scene has remained proudly independent, building a platform for queer voices. Every subscription helps us to report on the stories that matter to LGBTQ+ people across the UK and beyond.
Your support funds our journalists and contributes to Pride Community Foundation’s grant-making and policy work.
