ALL PROFITS GO TO THE SUSSEX BEACON, who provides specialist care and support for people living with HIV.
 
If there has ever been a buzz around any slogan, then the one for Lockdown three surely has to be La!
 
At The LGBTQ+ Shop we are delighted that It’s A Sin has brought an increased awareness of HIV/AIDS which has opened up opportunities to discuss the topic freely, help fight stigma, and raise key messages including the fact undetectable = untransmittable. The programme also shone a light on the difficulties faced by anyone diagnosed in the era before lifesaving treatment, when many of us lost friends, family members and loved ones.
 
So, when we decided to launch a range of La! merchandise (view the full range here) we were always adamant that 100% of profits would go to a HIV/AIDS charity. The reason we choose The Sussex Beacon was a purely personal one. They are a wonderful Brighton based organisation which provides specialist care and support for people living with HIV and they have helped a number of friends of the team at The LGBTQ+ Shop.
 
As with all charities, fundraising has been nigh on impossible since the outbreak of Covid-19, particularly for any charity which relied heavily on Pride season. So, in launching this range we hope that any much-needed funds raised can be used in helping and treating people living with HIV. Find out more about the work carried out by the Sussex Beacon here
