World AIDS Day is an international day that began in 1988. It’s held on 1 December each year to help raise awareness about HIV and AIDS.
Each year, Meridian holds an event to celebrate the process we have made in response to HIV and remember those we have lost. Keep an eye on this page closer to the date for details.
You can celebrate World AIDS Day and show your support by buying World AIDS Day merchandise. You can also distribute red ribbons and other merchandise at your workplace or with loved ones.
All proceeds from merchandise sales support the Trevor Daley Fund. Your support will help us continue our work in tackling HIV stigma, preventing new HIV transmissions and supporting people living with HIV.
The Trevor Daley Fund was established in 1992 to honour the memory of one of Meridian’s earliest members, Trevor Daley, who died from AIDS-related illness. The fund provides financial assistance to local people living with HIV in times of hardship and supports them in achieving specific goals. Every cent of every dollar donated goes directly to support local people affected by HIV.
