Are you seeking asylum or not able to access public funds and living with HIV?
Claiming asylum, going through the immigration system or living with immigration restrictions can be challenging and emotional. It can be especially hard if you are also living with HIV.
This specialist service offers you a safe, confidential and supportive space. We offer long-term emotional and practical support. We have good links with legal professionals and other refugee and migrant support services. We can also offer some financial support at times of destitution and hardship.
We know that the immigration system can be difficult, but you do have a right to support. We are here to help.
Testimonials
Below are some testimonies from clients who have recently received one or more of Brigstowe’s services recently.
When I received my HIV Positive diagnosis, it was suggested I look for support in Brigstowe. I was in a worried phase and a bit depressed. With the help I received in emotional and social support, my life has changed. I now feel that I am prepared to live with HIV in a positive way and with a lot of energy.

I feel sad that you are closing my file, but sad in a good way. I will never be able to thank you enough for everything that you did for me, and I will never forget you. The job that you guys do is life changing, I went from a scared immigrant with no hope to a confident person with a future.
