Children with AIDS Charity was established to help the youngest of those infected or affected by HIV/AIDS maintain a good quality of life. It is a national UK charity with the aim of working towards a future without poverty or prejudice for these children and their families.
Krissi said: “What some people don't know is that prior to Coronation Street I was training as a healthcare support worker in one of London’s top sexual health centres; with a clinic designed specifically for those living with HIV and AIDS. It is partly because of this job that I decided to become involved with CWAC. I think it is very important to provide support (emotionally and financially) to children with or affected by HIV. I also think it’s vital that the general public are educated about the disease too. I was delighted to find a charity that does this and hope I can use my newfound status to support and promote such a worthy cause!”
