REACT! 'Recreation and Activities'
This is a social group open to anyone who is or has received a service from Brigstowe and is HIV+.
The focus of the group is to bring people together to enjoy an event or activity in the company of others. It offers an opportunity to expand your social network and to enrich your life by meeting people from a wide range of backgrounds.
Regular events such as trips to Bristol Zoo, Bristol Hippodrome, bowling, film evenings, cultural events are enjoyed as well as an annual week's holiday in the UK.
The emphasis is on fun and mutual support! If you are not currently receiving information about REACT social events and would like to be included on the mailing list, please contact Brigstowe and we will be happy to add you to the list.
Become a Member
Everybody can apply to become a member. Our members are essential to the Project's work in order to make sure we are accountable and run effectively. Becoming a member is one way to ensure that people affected by HIV have a say in how the project runs.
Our membership list is confidential to the Project's staff and Trustees and will not be distributed to any other organisation.
Volunteer as a Committee Member
The Brigstowe Project is managed by a committee of volunteers. The Committee meets on a monthly basis in the evening. Committee members usually take on specific tasks according to their skills i.e. fundraising, PR, booking etc. We are always on the look out for new members of the Committee and would like to encourage applications from people who have direct experience of using our services.
Trustee/ Treasurer
HIV Positive About People
Treasurer required to join our Board of Trustees to help us through an exciting period of growth.
The Brigstowe Project, a small HIV charity based in Bristol, requires an experienced financial manager to support our strategic planning and oversee our fiscal governance.
If you are confident and proactive when it comes to finance, and want to use your skills to improve the quality of life for people with HIV, get in touch. You don’t need specific experience with HIV to apply, but a commitment to our strategic goals and organisational values is essential.
This will involve liaising with the Project Manager, Co-Trustees, Administrator and Bookkeeper, providing the Trustee Board with regular information, and attending monthly committee meetings and finance sub-group meetings.
For an informal discussion, please contact Jill Turner, Project Manager.
