Remember Henry

Henry Lovell Tennant was strikingly tall and beautiful, and inspired many around him with his huge generosity and spirit. He died of HIV-AIDS in 1990 at the age of 29. At that time, Henry's condition was relentless and fatal. Today, through the amazing work of places like Homerton Hospital, in Hackney where HIV rates are among the highest in the UK; patients have the opportunity to live relatively long, healthy and productive lives.

As Henry's family and friends set out to remember the twenty-year anniversary of his tragic death, an idea emerged to help fund-raising for the new Positive Lives HIV-AIDS Centre at Homerton Hospital. In keeping with Henry's belief in nurturing our spiritual nature and recognising the vital importance of building design on our health and happiness, we wanted to help fund a building worthy of the name, Positive Lives. It should be attractive, a place of sanctuary, where state of the art medical treatment can be provided alongside social and peer group support and advice.

We want people to feel good about the Centre being a regular part of their lives.
