New year, same purpose: standing with community-led networks to strengthen participation in the HIV response. #CommunitiesFirst

The Robert Carr Fund is a critical partner to communities most inadequately served by the health system and most impacted by the funding cuts and political shifts. In this moment, if you could speak directly to donors and policy makers what would you say? Comment below 👇 👇 👇

Funding cuts are forcing community-led organisations to scale back or shut down, putting the HIV response at risk. Core, flexible support keeps communities going. Read our 2022–2024 Grant Cycle Report: robertcarrfund.org/rcf-grant-cy... how core funding helps communities. #WorldAIDSDay2025

Community-led advocacy ensures that the most inadequately served communities get the services they deserve and need. Enabling ALL communities to access the services that are needed. Core, flexible funding is not optional.

We are honoured to introduce our new RCF Vice Chair, Kate Thomson, who brings an urgent reminder: core, flexible funding is what keeps community voices alive, especially those long undeserved and pushed aside.

This World AIDS Day, we are proud to introduce our new RCF Chair, Sushena Reza Paul who reminds us that community-led decision making, trust, and solidarity are not just values, they are what save lives. These principles have shaped RCF for over ten years, and they matter even more today.

On #SupportDontPunish Day, @robertcarrfund.bsky.social stands in solidarity with community-led networks fighting against criminalisation, calling for evidence-based, health-centered drug policy. Harm reduction saves lives. Decriminalisation restores rights. Support. Don’t Punish. Always.
