Come along and join us for a 'Sing your socks off Acapella Singalong' led by Ginny Clee at It was magical to all be singing together again after such a long enforced break. The atmosphere was amazing and the harmonies beautiful. There's nothing quite like all singing together....

It was a pleasure to work with CHIVA (Childrens HIV Association) again and to have the opportunity to help a group of about 10 young adults to tell their stories of living with HIV through music, dance and drama. Their creativity in writing song lyrics, improvising scripts, and choreographing dance is impressive and their stories are powerful. It is always humbling to witness their talent and bravery in sharing them.

Life Growing Up - our spoken word storytelling piece telling the stories of young people in the UK growing up with HIV - was performed to MPs, researchers, activists and invited audience to celebrate the launch of a brilliant educational toolkit developed by young people at CHIVA (Children's HIV Charity UK) as part of an initiative to end HIV stigma.

Reading poems written by young people from CHIVA; The Childrens HIV Charity at the press launch of the CHERUB garden at the Chelsea flower show. Designed to bring attention to the experiences faced by young people growing up with HIV and the research that is being done in the UK by CHERUB (a collaboration of researchers) to find a cure for HIV. Due to stigma, the young people themselves felt unable to perform their own poems, so we were honoured to read for them.

This week we are taking part in a week long workshop with young people, exploring their experiences of growing up with HIV through spoken word, music, poetry and drama. The longer term aim is to create a live storytelling performance and film based on the true stories collected from young people living in the UK who have grown up with HIV. This is a project for CHIVA; The Childrens HIV Association in collaboration with Turtle Keys Arts.
