How the LGBT community fought back against HIV and why the future looks different, presented by Richard Angell OBE from Terrence Higgins Trust.
Richard became Chief Executive of Terrence Higgins Trust in March 2023. He was previously the charity’s Campaigns Director and interim Head of Policy and Public Affairs.
During his time with Terrence Higgins Trust, Richard has played an integral role in securing £20 million Government funding for opt-out HIV testing in emergency departments and its further extension to 81 A&E departments. He led on the work to successfully overturn discriminatory exclusions in blood donation for gay and bisexual men, and those primarily from the UK’s black communities. He has also been vital to successful work to lift the ban on people living with HIV serving in the military, the ban on ‘driving with AIDS’, and worked to get HIV in each of the party’s manifestos.
A graduate of the University of Birmingham, Richard was previously Director at think tank Progress and worked with political leaders in both the UK and Australia. He also has a history of providing policy, communications and fundraising strategy advice to organisational leaders across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors.
