Mayor at Lunch Positive

**Lunch Positive** provides a healthy meal for HIV positive people every Friday afternoon at Dorset Gardens Methodist Church giving positive people the chance to make new friends, socialise and enjoy peer support.

**Gary Pargeter, Volunteer Project Manager, said: *“*** *It was a privilege to host a visit from the Mayor and to share lunch with her. It was a particularly busy session, with around 55 people spending time together, new volunteer applicants and outreach visitors joining us also.*

*“Our kitchen volunteers served up a fantastic meal, as always; and our front of house volunteers did a great job spending time with existing members, new, and those who we had not seen for a while.*

*“It was very useful to have the time to talk directly to the Mayor about the challenges that still exist for many people living with HIV, and how a supportive community space*  
*and peer-support make such a difference to people’s lives.*

*“It was especially rewarding to hear the Mayor thank everyone for their support of the HIV community and their commitment to volunteering.”*
