World AIDS Day 2007 - Highlights

It was more like a fortnight in 2007 with so many things going on and packed in.

It is hard to talk about a few highlights but here are some of them......

University of Leicester Action on the Park on 7th December - with Sir Peter Soulsby and Patricia Hewitt and lots of red ribbon around the trees on Victoria Park in Leicester.

Leicester Market - awareness raising stall on 1st December - good fun as ever, with more than 1200 red ribbons distributed and donations of about £280.

Bag packing at Marks and Spencers in Leicester - more red ribbons given out, donations of about £1380 and a well orchestrated and smooth running operation.

The Cathedral service by Faith in People with HIV with the shared lunch in the Guildhall afterwards.

Lots of stalls and sessions with businesses, colleges and lots of other people in the 2 weeks around 1st December

There were red ribbons all over the place and lots of information and posters.

Thanks to everyone who took part and assisted. We are planning more and better for this year so let me know if you are interested in getting involved.

We are looking for more collaborative work too so if your business, agency, school or whatever wants to get involved let me know.
