Terrence Higgins Trust

Categories: Social Welfare

A charity named for Terrence Higgins, one of the first people to die from the AIDS virus in Britain. It campaigns on and provides services relating to HIV and sexual health. A plaque at 333 Old Street says that their first meeting took place in 1983, although other sources say it it was founded in the previous year.
