World AIDS Day
Info
Every year, around the 1st December, we catch up to remember those who died, or are still living with HIV/AIDS.
It’s often a sombre occasion, but one that is very special to me as I used to work in a HIV clinic and saw many, many people get sick, get ostracised by their families, and die alone…
The Big Banana also turns red on Dec 1 every year to commemorate this day and its significance to our community still…

Rainbow Podcast

A while ago, we were asked by ACON to join OneMob and BYP in making a podcast with regards to the ABC’s of HIV…, aptly named the Own Yourself Podcast.

The Mid North Coast Legal team gave us a very interesting talk on their role within our community. General consensous was that our next talk will be about death, dying and wills specifically for our community, so keep an eye out as to when it will be.
ACON has also given us some interesting talks on pronouns, the evolution of our community as well as providing some money and pizzas to enable us to play putt putt golf and be fed.
We have done interviews with 2AirFM, ABC studios, TripleM, Q News, Coffs Coast News of the Area, Focus just to name a few, in order to get our name out there.
We have also given in services to Bunnings staff, Coffs Coast PFLAG+, TripleM…
We have also done the ACON volunteers course, and gone up to Ballina to help out with the BBQ @ Bunnings on World AIDS Day…
