Read a review of the investment.

Background to the investment:

Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) and HIV/AIDS pose significant issues for Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities because of language, cultural barriers and poor access to traditional health services.  The impetus for our involvement was to not only help NPL provide support to a greater number of sufferers amongst the BME communities but also work with them to reduce the incidence of STDs through prevention especially amongst teenagers.

• Strategic and implementation planning; recruiting and building a senior team; property strategy
• Balanced scorecard; fundraising strategy
• Review of peer education programme to develop better delivery model; developing fundraising subcommittee and new fundraising staffing model; development of new fundraising pitch

• NPL is now working with 11 London primary care trusts
• A new impact measurement programme has been agreed and is being rolled out
