“I didn’t know this many people cared” - Student Spectra social group attendee, Trans Pride 2025
Spectra exists to improve the health, choices and well-being of structurally excluded communities across London, particularly in relation to sexual health, emotional resilience, and mental-health.
Spectra is a ‘by and for’ organisation – our team includes trans and non-binary people, people of colour, LGBTQ+ folks, and some with lived experience of sex work. For services that are identity-specific – like our trans services and our support for sex workers – everything is led by staff with lived experience. They bring not only deep understanding but also real expertise in delivering health programmes tailored to their communities.
By donating today, you are contributing to what we call our unrestricted income.
Unrestricted meaning, Spectra can put donations from compassionate supporters towards what is most needed now and will help keep our services running consistently, without having to downsize or pause.
If you would like your donation to be put towards a particular established service, you can leave a comment when donating via our Just Giving page or alternatively email us: fundraising@spectra-london.org.uk
“Every six months I have a viral load test to check on the progression of the HIV with which I share my life. When I was first diagnosed there were over two million copies of the virus in 1 millilitre of blood. My latest result shows less than 20 copies, which effectively means it can’t be detected at all. We have made such great strides in treating HIV/AIDS and some of that success is down to organisations like Spectra. So thank you from the bottom of my heart.” – Pip, a member of the Spectra community, living with HIV for over 20 years.
