Our current hot topic

World AIDS day is fast approaching on December 1st 2009 and we want as many people as possible to be involved. We've created a range of easy-to-use resources, including videos, slideshow presentations and activities, which you can use to tell others about HIV and AIDS and get them taking action.

Our Upcoming Events

Our network of Action Speakers are trained to deliver information about development and key issues to school and community audiences.

We're looking to recruit new speakers next year at our Action Speaker Training Days. These will be held at our London offices in February and April 2010.

If you’re interested in attending contact the team for more information and to book a place. Alternatively you can also contact us if you would be interested in hosting a speaker from March 2010
