**The HIV charity provides a weekly lunch club for positive people** to meet in a supportive social space, share a healthy meal and find peer support. The service is provided entirely by volunteers.

**Gary Pargeter, volunteer project manager, said:** *“2013 has been our busiest year yet, and we have seen increasing numbers of people for whom living with HIV is very difficult challenge.*

*“We have seen more people who are newly diagnosed, those in poorer health, and many who are experiencing severe financial hardship.*

*“Our service is all about people being together and this year has been one during which we have seen a huge increase in public support for what we do.*

*“The support of local individuals, groups, businesses and other organisations has made a huge difference to the work we’ve been able to undertake, and the benefits for people who use the service.*

*“It’s a tough time for charities, especially smaller ones which are supporting rapidly growing numbers of people.*

*The support we’ve received in many diverse ways really proves what a difference community can make when it pulls together. Thank you to everyone who’s helped, and all the best for 2014″.*
