История
[ редактировать ]Основанная в 1982 году, Terrence Higgins Trust была первой благотворительной организацией в Великобритании, которая была создана в ответ на ВИЧ и СПИД. [ 8 ] Первоначально он был назван Терри Хиггинс Траст, [ 9 ] После Терри Хиггинса , который умер в возрасте 37 лет 4 июля 1982 года в Святого Томаса . в Лондоне больнице Он был одним из первых людей в Великобритании, которые, как известно, умер от вируса СПИДа, который был идентифицирован только в предыдущем году. [citation needed] Принцесса Маргарет стала ранним видным покровителем, став первым членом королевской семьи , которая публично связывала себя с благотворительной организацией, посвященной СПИДу и сексуальному здоровью.
Terry's close friends Martyn Butler, Tony Harris-Calvert and Terry's partner Rupert Whitaker along with other friends started the Trust to raise funds for research as a way of preventing suffering due to AIDS. Shortly, with the generation of a groundswell of support for the organisation at a meeting at Red Lion Square, Tony Whitehead and others joined the group and formally founded the organisation and saw it through registration as a charity to provide direct services to those affected by HIV.[citation needed]
The trust was named after Terry to personalise and humanise the issue of AIDS. It was formalised in August 1983 when it adopted a constitution and opened a bank account, and the name of the trust was changed (Terrence rather than Terry) to sound more formal. It incorporated as a limited company in November 1983 and gained charitable status in January 1984.
Since its inception 12 years ago, most of its fund-raising events have been hip and low-key affairs, from its first disco at the London club Heaven to gala screenings of Dracula and the comedy shows Hysteria and Filth...[10]
Hysteria 1 was a comedy benefit for Terrence Higgins Trust, produced by Stephen Fry.[11]
Hysteria 2, on 18 September 1989 at the Sadler's Wells Theatre in London, benefited Terrence Higgins Trust.[12] It was produced by Stephen Fry and broadcast on Channel 4, with a telethon.[11]
Hysteria 3, at the London Palladium on Sunday, 30 June 1991, benefited Terrence Higgins Trust.[13] Stephen Fry hosted, with Steven Wright, Hugh Laurie, Elton John, Ruby Wax, Rowan Atkinson, Eddie Izzard, Craig Ferguson, Lenny Henry, Julian Clary, Josie Lawrence, Jools Holland, Dawn French, Jennifer Saunders, Ian McKellen, Edwin Starr, Clement Freud, Beverly Craven, Ben Elton, and Tony Slattery.[14][citation needed]
The charity received almost a million pounds in donations over the Christmas of 1991, with the proceeds of Queen's re-released chart-topper "Bohemian Rhapsody" going entirely to the charity, following the recent AIDS-related death of lead singer Freddie Mercury.[15] After being diagnosed as HIV positive in 1987, Mercury had been concerned that financial support should be available to those less fortunate than himself.
Lisa Power, former corporate head of policy at the Terrence Higgins Trust, denounced the views of Pope Benedict XVI on the use of condoms to prevent AIDS and said: "We deeply regret the continued misinformation around condoms, which remain the most effective way of preventing the spread of HIV."[16]
In August 2015 first-team players from Hull Kingston Rovers teamed up with 1980s band Erasure to record a charity version of the band's single "A Little Respect", with a third of the proceeds going to the trust.[17]
