welcome to Shield
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Shield's Sheffield office will be closed to client drop-in services for six weeks starting 14 April 2008. The closure is due to preparation needed to transfer services to the newly renovated front building. Staff will still be available during this time to deal with emergencies on an outreach basis. The gym will continue to operate for pre-booked appointments only. Any client wishing to travel to Rotherham to use the drop-in services there can visit on Mondays from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m., and Wednesdays from 5:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Shield apologies for any inconvenience caused during this exciting time. We look forward to greeting all of you in the new centre very soon!
Shield is a charitable organisation staffed mainly by volunteers from all walks of life. We are committed to improving the quality of life of those infected and affected by HIV.
Established in 1985, Shield is a responsive organisation which aims to compliment health and social services. Our work is funded through a combination of donations, public sector grants and a variety of fund raising activities.
