The charity AVERT
Before setting up Annabels Foundation Peter & Annabel set up and for many years worked as volunteers for an HIV/AIDS charity called AVERT. Particularly notable was the website avert.org which with its comprehensive information on HIV/AIDS it is estimated reached many millions of people in its 27 year life. The site has now been closed down but it will be good to have a record of what it did. In 2012 Annabel wrote a history of the charity AVERT, which can be read here:
