30 July 2025

We had a fantastic day at Happy Valley Pride on 26 July as part of the Well Proud campaign. It was great to be out in the community, meeting so many people, having important conversations, and raising awareness about HIV, Hepatitis C, and sexual health.

Throughout the day, the Mission Zero team offered free, confidential HIV and Hep C testing – with lots of people choosing to get tested. Events like this are a vital part of our work. They help normalise conversations around sexual health, reduce stigma, and make testing more accessible in a relaxed and supportive environment.

We also shared information about local services and support available to LGBTQ+ people in Calderdale and beyond. A big thank you to everyone who took the time to stop by, ask questions, and show support – your engagement helps drive the Mission Zero vision forward: ending new transmissions and tackling stigma by 2030.

Next Stop – Calderdale Pride, 16 August

We’ll be back out again at Calderdale Pride on Friday 16 August. If you missed us at Happy Valley, come and find the Mission Zero team – we’ll be offering the same warm welcome, information, and free testing as part of the Well Proud campaign. See you there!
