Scope and Content
Administrative / Biographical History
The Crusaid charity was founded in 1986, with the aim of giving support and a better quality of living to those affected by the HIV/AIDS virus. Adults and children on whom HIV and AIDS have had an impact benefit from a variety of grants and innovative projects. The charity also supports research into the treatment and possible vaccination against AIDS. In association with the Terence Higgins Trust, Cruisaid has also set up the National Hardship Fund, which gives financial help to HIV/AIDS sufferers. The Crusaid operation in Scotland has now closed.
