George House Trust (1985-2002) is a voluntary organisation and a registered charity. They offer the support of community volunteers, advice on treatment and health and issues that are often complicated by being HIV positive such as welfare, benefits, employment and immigration. George House Trust provides high quality services for anyone who is HIV positive and for people affected by HIV (including partners, children, carers and family) living in the North West of England. All services are free and money is raised from public donations, fund-raising events, payments from NHS trusts and councils, and from minor trading activities.
SPW
Student Partnership Worldwide (SPW) invites young people worldwide to play a lead role in tackling health and environmental threats in rural Africa and Asia. It runs projects in Tanzania, Uganda, Zimbabwe, Zambia, South Africa, India and Nepal. Unlike other profit-making gap-year organizations, SPW promotes sustainable teaching methods and welcomes the participation of post-graduate and older volunteers up to the age of 28.
TransTanz
Trans Tanz is a organisation that connects communities in Tanzania ravaged by HIV/AIDS to health care facilities and life saving Anti Retroviral (ARV) drugs. Established in 2006, Trans Tanz was set up by a group of twenty-something friends in London and Manchester. Upon visiting Tanzania, it became clear from speaking to communities, that despite all the money, drugs and treatment coming into the country, communities had great difficulty in accessing these facilities. The idea of a bus that would transport such communities to access these facilities was born. Trans Tanz has applied to the Charity Commission for registration as a charity.
