Dear Friend, I am delighted to welcome you to The Auction 2014. This year we have some wonderful Lots on offer and we are thrilled that tonight you are showing your support for people living with HIV. HIV has always been a difficult cause for which to raise money and it takes a special kind of person to get involved and donate. Many people are indifferent to the needs of people living with HIV and are reluctant to support us - we need you now more than ever before. The fact that you are here tonight speaks volumes - we are incredibly grateful. At Terrence Higgins Trust we are committed to getting as many people as possible with HIV diagnosed and onto treatment. In the UK around a quarter of people with HIV do not know they have it and this group is driving the majority of new infections. Early diagnosis has two main benefits. People can access treatment as soon as they need it - meaning they can expect to live a near-normal lifespan - and as a result they are unlikely to pass on HIV. You can read more about our dynamic approaches to HIV testing later on in the catalogue. I would like to take this opportunity to say some very special thank you’s: • To our fantastic sponsor Prudential plc for their ongoing support of our work. • To the extremely generous individuals and companies who have donated Lots for tonight’s event. • And to Christie’s, our hosts this evening. We are indebted to their continued support. In particular to Jussi Pylkkänen, President and Chairman of Christie’s Europe, Middle East, Russia and India and Tom Best, Junior Specialist, Impressionist and Modern Art. Jussi and Tom will be our auctioneers for the evening. • Thank you all for being here. Putting it simply, without you there would be no Auction. I would also like to pay tribute to the work done by our Committee, who have been formidable in using their powers of persuasion to secure a dazzling smorgasbord of Lots. They have worked tirelessly to ensure we also have a glittering and generous audience who understand the work we do and want to support it publicly. And I would also like to recognise Terrence Higgins Trust’s Gala Events Team, in particular Rob Holley, Jane Barron and the volunteers who have given up their time to help this evening. Finally, thanks to you for supporting us and enabling our vital services to continue. Everybody here tonight is an advocate, not just for Terrence Higgins Trust but for people living with HIV in the UK. Your support means that we can continue our efforts to reach and diagnose those who are unaware of their HIV status. It also means that we can keep providing support to people who have been diagnosed with HIV – whether soon after diagnosis or many months or years later. Please be as generous as possible as your support makes a huge difference to people who are living with HIV - whether or not they are aware of it. We cannot tell you how much we – and our service users – appreciate your generosity. In closing, as you may know, Terrence Higgins Trust has a new Chief Executive. We are delighted to welcome Dr Rosemary Gillespie, who will be joining the charity in April. The charity has always been a trailblazer for people at risk of and living with HIV – something I am immensely proud of. I am confident that under Dr Gillespie’s leadership, Terrence Higgins Trust will continue to provide fantastic services while championing the rights of people living with HIV. I wish you a wonderful evening. Chris Bones Chair of Trustees, Terrence Higgins Trust 7
