Peer Support Group

If you are a member of the Black and Minority   Ethnic (BME) Community in Berkshire and living with HIV feel free to   join our HIV SUPPORT GROUP "The Grace Project- Berkshire". We are a friendly support group who understand your cultural needs and barriers that you face as a member of the Black and Minority Ethnic community in Berkshire, and how difficult coping with a HIV positive diagnosis can be with all the other issues that we have to cope with!!!

Our organization welcomes other community groups to share with us. We will exchange knowledge and information about HIV prevention, health promotion, treatment and support, immigration law, children support, finding a suitable job, goal setting and future plans,   improved ICT skills   etc.
