Helping the UK's HIV Patients Lead Normal Lives

Based in the UK, Body & Soul is an organization that works with children, teens, and families living with and affected by HIV. With the belief that everyone has the right to lead happy and healthy lives, Body & Soul promotes the dignity and well-being of individuals and families affected by HIV through educational programs for children, workshops and projects for teens, and support group meetings for adults.

Body & Soul was founded in 1996 in response to the lack of family-oriented HIV support for an emerging demographic. For more than 15 years, the organization has been working to counteract the devastation of an HIV+ diagnosis and reduce the stigma surrounding the issue. Its five-storey headquarters on Rosebery Avenue is a place where people of all ages can access personalized health-related and psychosocial support in a stress-free and aspirational environment.

Over the years, Body & Soul has received a number of accolades, including the Queen's Golden Jubilee Award and the GSK Impact Award.
