02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Waverley Care is Scotland's national HIV and hepatitis C charity. We work to reduce health inequalities, end HIV stigma and support Scotland's ambition to end new HIV transmission by 2030. We provide information, advice, education, peer support and wellbeing services for people living with or at risk of HIV and hepatitis C across Scotland. We work with communities that face barriers to accessing testing, prevention, treatment and care, including people who inject drugs, minority ethnic communities, and gay, bisexual, trans and non-binary people. We also work with NHS boards, local authorities, the Scottish Government and other partners to improve services, influence policy, increase awareness and challenge stigma. Through this work, we help people live well, stay engaged in care and access the support they need.
