Cardiff Body Positive (Cardiff Body Positive was founded in 1993 and based at 57 St Mary Street, Cardiff (though it operated out of a PO Box due to stigma). It supported people living with HIV and AIDS from across Cardiff and south Wales, and was one of about 52 Body Positive groups around the UK.)
Digital copy of photograph showing the planting of the memorial tree to commemorate all those who have died of AIDS in Wales, 1 December 1994.
The tree is in the Gorsedd Gardens, Cardiff, and was planted by Mike Phillips and Martin Nowaczek (co-founders of Cardiff Body Positive), along with the Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of Cardiff. It has become the focus for World AIDS Day commemorations, with people attaching red ribbons to the tree.
Mike recalls that “I was around 25 when we planted the Red Ribbon Tree. We’d opened the Cardiff Body Positive drop-in-centre the previous day and Martin, already ill, was feeling tired. He died less than 6 months later”.
