We’re absolutely thrilled that Sahir has recently been featured on ITV’s Granada Reports and This Morning—two brilliant opportunities to shine a light on the work we do and the amazing people we support.

Granada Reports: Sharing Our Story

It was fantastic to see Granada Reports highlight Sahir and the incredible stories of those connected to us across our 40 year history, showcasing our widespread impact. A huge thank you to:

• Paul Fisher, a service user and former trustee, for bravely sharing his journey and experiences.
• John Hyland, our Community Partnerships Lead, for speaking about the vital work we do.
• Kay Jones, Lead Curator at the Museum of Liverpool, for helping showcase the lasting impact of Sahir in the city in relation to the Holly Johnson Story exhibiton.

Their voices really brought home just how important it is to keep the conversation going around HIV and support services.

This Morning: A National Platform

We were also beyond grateful to be mentioned on This Morning, where Ben Shephard and Cat Deeley spoke to the brilliant Olly Alexander. Olly reflected on his recent visit to Liverpool, performing at Jacaranda Baltic, where he kindly spoke to members of our team about the work we do for the community, highlighting Sahir, alongside Brighton’s Sussex Beacon. It’s amazing to see someone with such a huge platform using it to talk about HIV awareness and the work being done across the UK, particularly in line with the global phenomenon TV series, It’s A Sin.

A Massive Thank You

Having these opportunities means the world to us. It helps us reach more people, challenge stigma, and remind everyone that support is out there. We’re so grateful to Granada Reports, This Morning, and Olly for giving us the space to share our work, and, most importantly, to the incredible people who continue to share their experiences.
