About Us

Red Ribbon Living Well CIC is a community organisation for individuals affected by and living with HIV, Mental Health, Family experience domestic violence  and other comorbidities illness. The group was founded in 2009 by members who recognised a need for peer support in the community, and it has grown from its grass-roots beginnings

  • Challenge ignorance, perceived stigma and discrimination, and negative culture perceptions of HIV to improving psychological well-being and mental health.

The Purpose of the project

The project delivered safe space both virtually and physically to engage and seek emotional and practical support by analyzing coping mechanisms for its members affected  with mental health, isolation, loneliness, financial burdens and poverty.  Red Ribbon looked at providing culturally appropriate services and practical information that resonate with our members through in person and virtual spaces. We aim to empower communities and encourage people to test for HIV in a non-judgmental environment and to offer support to negotiate the health care package.  Providing information in simplified language, understood by  members and prioritize inclusive activities for different cultural groups to rise awareness of rights, responsibilities, and confidentiality. Alleviate isolation whilst building self-esteem create friendship and a support network among members, families and carer.
