London Lighthouse

[2][3] London Lighthouse was co-founded by Christopher Spence MBE (Chief Executive Director), Andrew Henderson (Chairman) and John Shine.[4][5] Almost £5 million was raised in order to suitably equip a residential unit with space for up to 23 patients with AIDS which opened in September 1988.[6][7] The official opening of London Lighthouse took place in November 1988 with a plaque unveiling by the late Princess Margaret.[10] In 2013 Terrence Higgins Trust decided to close the facility to cut costs and in 2015 the Museum of Brands moved into the space.[2] In 2021, an initiative was announced to create a UK National AIDS memorial to be located at the former London Lighthouse building.
