NLTSG currently hires a venue for each
weekend in Staffordshire, some 30 minutes from the town of Stafford. It
is about 30 minutes to the nearest mainline station - Stafford - and 15 minutes from Junction 14 on the M6.
We have exclusive use of the venue
from Friday afternoon until we leave on Sunday. This is to help ensure
the confidentiality of group members, and also creates a safe,
comfortable atmosphere where those attending can put the stigma of HIV
to one side. It also means that everyone attending can talk freely about
HIV, as well as any other issues, without having to worry about who
might overhear what is being said.
