Support for children with HIV

Gateway to Care - May 2009
gatewaytocare@kirklees.gov.uk

Voluntary organisations
  • Barnardo's
    Barnardo's Planning Scheme offers parents who are HIV positive or living with other life threatening illnesses the opportunity to plan for their children's future care, exploring options such as fostering, care by friends and relatives or adoption and giving high priority to the wishes of the child.
  • Children with AIDS Charity
    Children with AIDS Charity assists children and their families to lead as near normal a life as possible.
  • Grandma's
    Grandma's is a church based organisation which aims to provide practical help to children and families affected by HIV/AIDS.
