We are Teen Spirit. We are dedicated to young people aged 13–19 years old who are either HIV+ or are close to someone who is (a Mum or brother for instance).

Our Teen Spirit evenings are a good mix of helpful and fun activities; workshops, courses and a nice chunk of social time. We know that getting to grips with HIV can sometimes be tough. We understand that it can affect your life in lots of different ways. But by coming to Teen Spirit, together we can work on how to make things easier.

If you would like to get in contact to find out more, have a chat with someone or come into a Teen Spirit evening, just give us a call and we’ll take it from there.

Teen Spirit is on every Thursday from 4.30 – 8.45pm.

We also run a Children’s Centre for Teen Spirit members with children. So if you’re coming to see us and have a child, please try to book before 12 noon on the Tuesday before you attend.
