Brunswick takes on RED RUN 2026
Jess and Chris take on RED RUN 2026.
Two members of our HIV Support Team are heading to London this November to take part in RED RUN 2026 and raise money for the Brunswick HIV Welfare Fund.
On Saturday 21 November, Jess & Chris will be representing Brunswick at RED RUN 2026!
RED RUN brings together people from across the UK to run or walk 5K or 10K in support of HIV charities and services.
Jess and Chris are aiming to raise £800 for the Brunswick HIV Welfare Fund, which provides financial support to people living with HIV who are experiencing financial hardship.
About the HIV Welfare Fund:
Our welfare fund provides financial support to service users facing financial hardship. It offers recurring periodic payments to people living with HIV who have no income at all, as well as emergency assistance on an ad hoc basis for those facing an immediate crisis such as being unable to afford food or essential household utilities.
The welfare fund also supports our personal hygiene provision, providing hygiene and sanitary products on a reoccurring basis, in an effort to relieve an element of financial hardship and meet a basic need we all deserve.
The fund is designed to provide support quickly and flexibly, without the lengthy application processes or extensive evidence requirements often associated with other comparable sources of financial assistance. This means we can respond to emergencies within the timeframe necessary to ensure that people living with HIV are not left without the essentials.
The welfare fund relies entirely on small grants and donations.
Supporting the HIV Welfare Fund
Money raised through Jess and Chris's RED RUN fundraiser will support the Brunswick HIV Welfare Fund.
A £5 donation could help towards supporting transport to a counselling appointment.
A £10 donation could help towards an emergency electric top-up payment.
A £20 donation could help towards a welfare payment to someone with no income for 2 weeks.
A £50 donation could help towards restocking personal hygiene stores for 1 month.
Support Jess and Chris!
You can support Jess and Chris by donating to their fundraiser, sharing it with friends, family and colleagues, and following our social channels as we count down to RED RUN.
We'll be sharing updates from Jess and Chris in the run-up to 21st November and following them on the day!
