Description

Newsletter of AIDS Action Alliance which was established in 1986 as a co-ordinating group for voluntary organisations working on AIDS in Ireland. Constituent groups include: AIDS Helpline Dublin, Cairde, Gay Health Action, Body Positive Group, Women and AIDS Group, Youth Action Project Ballymun, Practical Aid, Western AIDS Action Alliance, Cork AIDS Alliance. The Newsletter provides information and updates on these groups and a listing of contact details for groups and helplines. A foldout poster was included advertising the various AIDS Helplines.
The following is an extract from the information on the Cork AIDS Alliance: "CORK AIDS ALLIANCE was founded on 29th July 1987. Present at the inaugural meeting were representatives from the Haemophilia Group, Cork STD Clinic, the Bishop's Task Force on AIDS, Gay Health Action and the Alcohol and Drug Treatment Unit. Within a few weeks of its launch the group organised an Information Day on AIDS in the city, and set about raising funds to rent and equip an office. Training for volunteers for a Cork Branch of CAIRDE, a befriending service for people affected by AIDS, began shortly afterwards. The Alliance opened its office in mid-February 1988 and CORK AIDS HELPLINE started operation on 29th February of this year, and operates on three days of the week."
