Corrie's Krissi Bohn new patron of Children with AIDS Charity

Children with AIDS Charity (CWAC) are delighted to announce Krissi Bohn, who plays Jenna Kamara in Coronation Street, as their new patron. 

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!”
