Wellington Moyo - Local Services Coordinator
I have worked for Yorkshire MESMAC since 2007. I have worked with individuals and communities that are most at risk of HIV, doing prevention and social support. I have also coordinated national HIV prevention programmes which include Testing Faith and Welcome Hear targeting faith leaders and newly arrivals respectively. I have vast experience of delivering training to various community groups which includes medical professionals, and have delivered presentations on national conferences which include HPE, CHIVA and NHVNA. I have passion for people and I try to make everything possible to help others have better lives.

John Dugdale - Community Development Worker
Following a career in Advertising, Marketing and PR, I moved into the third sector in 2016, following a period of volunteer work with a London-based LGBTQ+ focussed Sexual Health & Well-being charity. Over the following years I strived to improve services for people accessing HIV prevention services, including testing, referrals for PrEP, STi information, along with sign posting into peer services for counselling and mentoring, plus supporting a respected Trans Empowerment Programme. Originally from West Yorkshire I returned to Bradford and joined MESMAC in March of 2024, where I continue to support people to achieve positive outcomes in their lives around sexual, mental and physical wellbeing. I take great satisfaction from being able to support communities in accessing the support and services they need, while reducing stigma associated with these issues. If you think we can help in any way please get in touch, we look forward to meeting you!
