Welcome HIVE UCL!

On 1st June 2014 our Expansion Coordinator Kesh headed to London to meet with the newly established HIVE University College London (UCL) committee for their first training day! The committee, despite having only formed in March this year, have already been hard at work making links with the UCL Volunteering  Service Unit and establishing themselves as an official organisation within the university. The committee consists of 7 enthusiastic students from a range of disciplines and year groups and who are all excited to raise awareness and deliver education about HIV. HIVE’s expansion to London is all the more important with the knowledge that the prevalence of HIV is highest in the countries capital. In 2013 18 of the 20 of the local authorities with the highest prevalence of HIV in the UK were in London, where diagnosed HIV prevalence is as high as 14 per 1,000 in some areas and 2 per 1,000 in others. We very much look forward to working with our new colleagues at HIVE UCL over the next year and are delighted to welcome them to the SIC UK family!
