National Volunteers Week & AIDS Candlelight Memorial

Uncategorized

  This week Cal and Michael dial in with Phil Carswell, the inaugural President of the Victorian AIDS Council (now Thorne Harbour Health) to discuss the very first AIDS Candlelight Memorial – and the importance of understanding and remembering our HIV history. We take a moment to reflect on Patti LaBelle’s Oh, People. 

The memorial will connect us digitally on Sunday 17th May 5-6pm. Head to Living Positive Victoria‘s website for more details

Later, we connect t with two Thorne Harbour Health volunteers, Alberto and Andrew in the lead up to National Volunteers Week next week. They share with us how they are staying actively engaged in their volunteer roles during COVID, and what motivates them to volunteer with Thorne Harbour.

Before we sign off we discuss some changes (and possible hurdles) to PrEP access and look forward to getting physical again as restrictions start to ease in Victoria.
