A brief presentation of the impact and importance of that support was offered as part of Just Together, the official closing event for Just 2013.
Waverley Care is Scotland's leading charity providing care and support to people living with HIV or Hepatitis C.
A diagnosis of HIV or Hepatitis C brings with it not only issues of poor health and a lifetime of medication and hospital visits, but individuals also face social exclusion, stigma and discrimination.
Waverley Care believes that every person has a right to be cared for, loved and respected, whether they are HIV/Hepatitis C positive or not.
From facilitating peer support, to pastoral and spiritual care and help with job applications, it challenges stigma and discrimination so that everyone can work towards reaching their full potential in life.
