Coronavirus (COVID-19)

To reduce the risk of transmission of coronavirus to our service users, staff and volunteers we have suspended face-to-face appointments at our offices, home visits and group activities. We are, however, providing support over the phone, by email, text and where possible via video-calling and through other on-line platforms. See our HIV support, HIV prevention and yOUTh service pages for more information. See our contact page for staff mobile numbers. You can leave a message on our office answer service 01422 341 764 or 01484 469 691 and we will get back to you.

Our Story

The Brunswick Centre was established in 2001 following the merger of two local HIV charities, Calderdale HIV/AIDS Link (CHAL) and Kirklees AIDS Response (KAR) who were established in the late 1980’s in response to the support needs of people with HIV.

We are keen on, and have a long history of, working with partner services, locally, regionally and nationally to ensure we get the best for the communities we serve.
