Crusaid and Terrence Higgins Trust to merge

Jordan Hay, Chief Executive of Crusaid, said: "We initiated this merger to ensure that our hardship fund can continue to make a vital difference to the ever-increasing numbers of people diagnosed with HIV each year in the UK.

"THT shares our vision and values and we are excited about the opportunities to support people with HIV that this merger presents."

Senior staff members from both organisations will immediately begin work on a renewed anti-poverty strategy in support of people with HIV based on research and experience from both organisations.
