Funding? Premises? Charitable stauts? Check!!!!



What a great start we have had and what a fantastic response +me has received from everyone from our town , We are delighted to report that our Vice Chair and Treasurer Karl Cooper , was able last month to report to the +me board of Volunteers that he had received official notification of secured funding from Barnsley PCT to provide help , support and one to one sessions to the people in and around Barnsley whose lives are affected by or who are living with HIV. We, the board at +me have also met with solicitors to discuss and agree to move +me onwards and upwards and begin the process to register us as an official charity therefore enabling us to resource additional funding to ensure that +me is absolutely secure as Barnsley’s first choice support service for HIV/ AIDS.
We are resolute in our mission to be a professional yet small, client led organisation ran by and for the people of Barnsley living with and affected by HIV, we are not replacing alternative local services we are bridging the gap in services provided in Manchester, Sheffield and Leeds, because Barnsley counts!
We are here to stay and we are here to help, and it will be a great pleasure to serve our community with our experience, knowledge , professionalism and of course locality!.
