Eleven ways to support Terrence Higgins Trust this Pride season

Pride season is an opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQ+ communities, reflect on the distance travelled and take meaningful action to advance equality. It’s also a time when brands, venues and people across the country step up to raise vital funds. LGBTQ+ people have been some of the loudest voices in the fight against HIV since the dark days of the epidemic – that is still the case today.

Here are 11 different ways you can show your support for the work of HIV / sexual health charity Terrence Higgins Trust this Pride month. Your purchases and support will help the charity’s work to end new HIV cases in the UK by 2030, and to support people living with HIV.

Next’s Pride collection

Next is supporting Terrence Higgins Trust’s work for the third consecutive year with its Pride collaboration. Over the month of June, 10% of all proceeds from their charity bouquet will be donated to the charity. There is also a collection of three personalised prints – you can choose the artwork as well as the text, with 100% of sales going to the charity.

And keep your eyes peeled, because Next is also launching a beauty box with makeup products, which will also raise vital funds to support people living with and affected by HIV.

As well as Terrence Higgins Trust, the event is also supporting LGBTQ+ charities Amplifund and Rainbow Railroad.
