Positive Help is a registered Scottish charity which offers volunteer led practical help to those affected by HIV/AIDS in Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Positive Help was set up in 1989 in response to requests for day to day help from those living with HIV in the Edinburgh area. Since then, our services have developed to meet the changing needs of our clients, but our original purpose remains the same - to give free practical support to the HIV community in and around Edinburgh.

Our charitable objectives are: “to relieve the suffering and distress of adults and children in Edinburgh and the Lothian area who are infected or affected by HIV and AIDS and their families, friends and carers”.
 

Services

Positive Help offers three services to support those affected by HIV/AIDS in the Edinburgh area:

Transport service
Home support service
Children & young people befriending service

If you wish to access any of our services then please contact us on 0131 558 1122 to discuss your request.

Confidentiality is strictly respected at all times.
