Our 5th history post is from BHA's Sexual Health Services Programme Lead (Greater Manchester & Liverpool), Elisabete Miranda.

Elisabete shares some highlights from the 8 years she has worked for BHA. Including the development of our PaSH Partnership and BHA winning the GSK Impact Award.
Our 4th history post if from BHA's HIVe Programme Lead, Richard Scarborough.

Richard shares his first memory of BHA from a fundraising event in 1997. He has worked alongside BHA for some time as a local commissioner before becoming a formal employee last year.
95% of ex-smokers see positive changes in their life as early as 2 weeks after quitting - so just imagine how good it would be after 4!

Halfway there 🙌 If you need our support, reach out to your local stop smoking service: www.nhs.uk/service-sear...

Our 3rd history post is from BHA's Director Of Service Development & Delivery, Jeni Hirst.

Jeni, having been with BHA for over 30 years, shares an important insight into the growth and struggle we have faced during our long history. One of these moments was in 2007 when BHA was expanding to Leeds.
In partnership with the Ahmed Iqbal Ullah Race Relations Centre, we explored this year’s Black History Month theme, Standing Firm in Power and Pride, through the lens of Black LGBTQ+ history, HIV awareness, and community activism.

Thank you to everyone who joined us!
