Parliament and politicians
Terrence Higgins Trust works with politicians in the Westminster Parliament, the Welsh Assembly and local government across England and Wales. Among the work we do is:
- supporting individual constituents to lobby their Member of Parliament (MP) or Assembly Member (AM)
- meeting with MPs and AMs on matters of concern to them or us
- working with the All-Party Parliamentary Group on AIDS and other relevant all-party groups
- giving evidence to select committees and other enquiries
- working with the Independent Advisory Group which scrutinises progress on the Government’s Sexual Health and HIV Strategy
- asking all MPs to sign a declaration against HIV prejudice
- producing publications to inform politicians of the concerns and needs of people with HIV or poor sexual health.
We are also a member of the Expert Advisory Group on AIDS for the Government.
12 Things the Government can do
THT’s main lobbying agenda is contained in our publication 12 Things the Government can do. These are 12 goals for change in legislation or guidance that we believe would make a great impact on the lives of people with HIV or those in at-risk groups.
