June 2, 2008 Terrence Higgins Trust calls for volunteers to help make up safer sex packs for Pride | ![]() |
Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is calling for volunteers in London to help put together safer sex condom packs for distribution at Pride. There are around 15 dates over the next month when volunteers can come along to help at THTs offices in Gray’s Inn Road, King’s Cross.
As part of its work to reduce the onward transmission of HIV and sexually transmitted infections THT staff and volunteers give out thousands of safer sex packs at Pride each year. Each pack includes a condom, lubricant and THTs contact details in case anyone would like information or advice on HIV or sexual health.
Marc Thompson, Deputy Head of Health Promotion at THT said “Making up thousands of these packs can take a while so if anyone would be willing to come along and help us out, we’d be really grateful. It’s also a good opportunity to meet new people and socialise as we always have a laugh.”
To volunteer, find out the dates and times you can help or for further information please call Andie Dyer on 020 7812 1791.
