During Pride Month, we share a powerful personal reflection from Patrick, a former Mildmay chaplain whose life and ministry were shaped by the AIDS crisis. His story recalls a time of stigma, loss and courage, and offers a moving reminder of the compassion, dignity and sense of belonging that defined Mildmay's response to HIV. Read Patrick's testimony and explore the wider history of Mildmay's HIV care and LGBTQ+ community.

Your donations have allowed us to recently send over £20,000 to Uganda, restarting the Universal Fund and launching My Pill Box, My Health! - a youth-led project helping schoolchildren take their HIV medication without stigma.

Mildmay is supports Zero HIV Stigma Day on 21 July. Stigma remains one of the biggest barriers to HIV care, and this global day of action calls on all of us to challenge misinformation, prejudice, and fear. We’re committed to person-centred, compassionate care—on this day and every day.

On Princess Diana’s birthday, we remember her extraordinary compassion and her seventeen visits to Mildmay. At a time of fear and stigma, Diana’s kindness and courage helped transform public attitudes to HIV and AIDS.
