World AIDS Day 2025
Young LGBT+ Voices to lead a moving commemoration in partnership with Aids Memory UK.
Members of Mosaic LGBT+ Young Persons’ Trust are taking the lead in this year’s commemoration of World AIDS Day, hosting an evening of remembrance and reflection in partnership with AIDS Memory UK.
The event, taking place on Monday 1 December from 6:30 – 8:00 pm, will be generously hosted at the historic Fitzrovia Chapel — a site deeply intertwined with the history of those who lost their lives to HIV/AIDS-related illnesses, as it is situated close to the former Middlesex Hospital.
The evening will include poetry readings, music performances, and personal reflections delivered by members of the Trust. Guests will then join a symbolic walk to the nearby site selected for The AIDS Memorial in London, which will be realised in the coming years in a new public artwork by acclaimed artist Anya Gallaccio and supported by the Mayor of London.
Debbie Weekes-Bernard, London's Deputy Mayor for Communities and Social Justice, said: "This event marking World AIDS Day offers a poignant moment to reflect on those we have lost to HIV/AIDS related illness and unite in our battle against the virus. It reminds us how far we have come in tackling HIV/AIDS, but also that there is further to go in ending stigma and achieving equality for all people affected in our communities. I am proud that City Hall is supporting London’s first permanent HIV/AIDS memorial, which will be an important message of solidarity and a symbol of hope, as we build a better and healthier London for everyone.”
Everyone is welcome to attend, but advance booking is required to manage capacity.
