LEAT was formed to provide a faith-based response to the HIV epidemic in London. In the eighteen years since its conception LEAT has continued to meet the diverse needs of communities and people infected and affected by HIV. Our services now target both communities and people of faith and those with none.

Our original goal was to facilitate and encourage compassionate and constructive responses to what was and still is a devastating disease and epidemic.

Although, today the outlook of living with HIV has improved considerably, our role continues to develop and grow to:

Highlight new areas of concern
Increase awareness and understanding
Root out and challenge prejudice
Generate and deploy new and more appropriate programmes and services
Encourage safer behaviours
Address the needs of those marginalised and stigmatised
Work in partnership with people affected by HIV and other key stakeholders to achieve our goals
