We are working with the Elton John AIDS Foundation, the incredible charity created by that incredible musician for our Christmas Appeal 2018.

Every year we choose an amazing charity to partner with, and this year is no different.

Our aim is to make six cities around the world AIDSfree, with money donated helping funds in London, Nairobi, Atlanta, Kiev, Delhi and Maputo.

Across these cities, the money will help fund testing programmes so those at risk can quick and easily know their status, make sure that those who need it get access to the right treatment programmes and fight the stigma that surrounds those who have HIV.
