TVPS was the first organisation within the UK to merge a Body Positive Self-Help Group with an AIDS support group. (Actually we merged with 2 support groups at the same time...). Over the past 21 years, TVPS has gained a great deal of experience from its client base, working closely with health authorities and the local community to provide local solutions to local problems, with the input of the community in which we serve. TVPS is recognised by other statutory and voluntary agencies within the local community, as a well respected and leading light amongst the HIV / AIDS Self-Help Service Providers.
