Body
Positive provides a confidential befriending scheme which offers one to one support for
people who are HIV positive. We achieve this by training volunteers who are then matched
with a person who is HIV positive, with a view to them becoming an emotional support to
that person.
Often,
when someone is ill or faced with illness, pressures from family, friends and doctors can
leave them feeling confused and powerless. At Body Positive we aim to offer them
practical support if necessary. Buddies aim to complement rather than to replace
existing support and care given from partners, families, friends etc.
