25 years of support and friendship • 25 years of positive change
This short 5-minute film celebrates the legacy and achievements of the Bobby Goldsmith Foundation in the words of our clients, supporters and current and former staff members.
The Bobby Goldsmith Foundation (BGF) is Australia’s oldest HIV charitable organisation. It was born out of the selfless love and care that a group of people showed towards one of their best friends.
When Bobby Goldsmith was dying in 1984, it was friendship that made all the difference to his quality of life. His friends banded together to give him the love and care he needed so that he could stay at home rather than go into hospital or a hospice. They raised money and bought equipment to make his last weeks as comfortable as possible.
Today, BGF continues the work of Bobby’s friends. Their practical and caring spirit lives on to this day and remain our core values as we continue to provide practical, emotional and financial support to people living in poverty with HIV in NSW.
For 25 years, BGF has been a friend to people living with HIV by providing the support they so desperately need. Our dedication to helping people living with HIV will always be the foundation of our work, reminding us of our heritage and taking us into the future.
