Health Minister Simon Burns said: “I recognise and admire the important work that Terrence Higgins Trust does both nationally and here in Chelmsford. The positive impact THT makes to the lives of those people living with HIV is extraordinary, and the assistance they receive in enabling them to live normal, healthy lives is superb.

I am delighted to be able to visit Terrence Higgins Trust today as one of my first Ministerial visits and see first hand the work they do. Their presence in Chelmsford is a true asset to the local area.”

Sir Nick Partridge, Chief Executive of Terrence Higgins Trust said: “We are delighted to welcome Simon Burns to our service in Chelmsford today. Government interest in THT’s work comes at a crucial time when such vitally needed support services must be recognised and sustained for the years ahead. More people are living with HIV than ever before and we can not afford to ignore it.”

THT provides a dedicated range of sexual health services for people living with HIV in Chelmsford and its services include legal advice, counseling, and advice on benefits, employment, immigration and housing.
