Judges' Comments
"A grounded, community-first approach that actually listens. Built on trusted relationships, local champions and consistent follow-through. It tackles long-standing mistrust with practical, everyday nudges that matter.
​
Embedded in neighbourhood teams, it feels built to last and squarely aimed at residents who've been underserved for too long."
RRLW welcomes student volunteers aboard
11 June
A core tenet of our 2026 strategy is to grow our young adult audience. This month, two student volunteers joined Red Ribbon to help us take the organisation to the next level.
​
By bringing fresh ideas and new perspectives, together our aim is to ensure RRLW’s critical, stigma-busting messaging continues to resonate with the next generation of South-East Londoners so that we can expand our services and support even more people living with and affected by HIV.
