| Tartan Ribbon – Waverley Care’s uniquely Scottish HIV lapel ribbon plays a key role in raising awareness and raising funds for our work. The gift of tartan ribbons helps stop the spread of a preventable condition and helps care for those living with HIV.

| Reel of Tartan Ribbon (300 ribbons): £10 | |
| Nurturing our community garden. The gardens at Milestone, Waverley Care’s residential unit, provide a restful and reflective environment. They are tended by volunteers and by a team of children from a local special needs school. A gardening gift will help towards the cost of plants and upkeep of this special place. |  |
| Gardening gift: £15 | |
| Painting a brighter future. Waverley Care uses the Arts in many different ways from relaxation, to developing new skills, to enabling people to explore deeper emotions. Sessional artists work with support groups, children’s groups and with residents at Milestone in a range of art forms from painting, to textiles, to stained glass. Share the gift of creativity through the purchase of an arts session. |  |
| Painting a brighter future: £20 | |
| A well-earned rest for children and their parents . A place on one of Waverley Care’s children’s holiday playschemes benefits both children and parents. It gives a child the opportunity to spend time away from stressful home situations where they may be caring for a parent with HIV, whilst giving parents some respite from school holiday boredom. |  |
| Day place on a holiday playscheme: £25 | |
| A time for love and acceptance. Waverley Care’s Spiritual & Pastoral Care Service offers support to people of all faiths and of no faith. Many have been bruised by rejection and stigma. From this gift, people can experience caring and acceptance to help them move on towards a positive future. |  |
| Spiritual support session: £25 | |
| “A place where I can be myself .” For children like Nicky, Waverley Care’s after-school clubs are a real lifeline. Because of the stigma of HIV, Nicky can’t talk to her friends about her parent’s illness. Coming to an after-school club means she can meet others, receive support and just be herself. |  |
| Place at an after-school club for a month: £35 | |
| It’s good to talk. Andrew, who has recently been diagnosed HIV positive, has experienced rejection by his family and is now terrified of losing his job. He is at risk of becoming severely depressed and isolated. Counselling provides a safe space, where people living with HIV and Hepatitis C can talk openly about their condition and the profound impact it has on every aspect of their life. |  |
| Counselling session: £40 | |
| Brightening difficult days – Our Community Support service works with people who are at the very margins of our society – people whose lives are chaotic because of their HIV status and ongoing drug use, people who others have given up on. The support offered one-to-one at home or through group outings is life-changing. This gift provides funding for a group outing, for example on a canal boat or cinema trip. |  |
| Brightening difficult days: £50 | |
| You’ve got a friend. Having a stigmatised condition like HIV destroys confidence and means people often become isolated. Waverley Care’s volunteers Buddies help to break down the barriers of isolation by providing one-to-one support. This gift provides training for a new Buddy and support for one year. |  |
| You’ve got a friend: £65 | |
| Emotional support for children and families – sometimes children affected by HIV need more in-depth support than groups can provide. Our Children & Families Worker provides one-to-one sessions for children, working with them over a four week period and liaising with parents, social workers and school to ensure the best all-round support for the child. |  |
| Emotional support for children & families (4 week block): £100 |
