All the news from TVPS, Beyou and The HIV Podcast in one place!
On the bbc
We were thrilled to feature on BBC South Today as part of the coverage around the launch of opt-out HIV testing in A&E at Royal Berkshire Hospital, a powerful step forward in breaking down stigma and diagnosing HIV earlier.
It was an pleasure to stand alongside the brilliant teams making this initiative happen, and we’re especially proud of Allan, one of our incredible service users, who bravely shared his personal story of living with HIV. His voice is helping change minds and lives

40 Years of TVPS
We've been making headlines lately, because we’re getting ready to commemorate 40 years of support!
As we celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re inviting YOU to be part of our anniversary by sharing your memories of TVPS or the people who have been impacted by our services.
We especially want to hear from:
Nurses, helpline staff, and volunteers who worked in HIV support
Those involved in past organisations that became TVPS
Anyone who lost friends or loved ones to HIV
People with memories of HIV in the 1980s, even if not directly linked to TVPS
If you have a story, memory, or experience to share, we’d love to hear from you! Get in touch and help us honor 40 years of making a difference -

Global Conversations
The HIV Podcast had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Meg Doherty from the World Health Organization (WHO), and it highlighted just how far our podcast has come. We’re multi-award nominated, listened to in 180 countries, and now we’re bringing vital conversations on global issues with incredible guests, such as WHO and UNAIDS.
Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it. Huge love to our small but mighty team, we’re proving that passion and dedication can make a real impact, even if you have zero budget
Going wild
We got all green fingered recently with fantastic partnership working with wildlife Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust. As part of their “nextdoor nature” programme, where they are delivering projects across the UK with communities that have historically been excluded from decisions about or unable to access nature in their local area. They helped us rewild our overgrown garden and have made it a haven for service users, helping improve their mental health. Have a watch to find out what it’s all about!
