  1. Dear Annabel
    I would like to invite you to take part in the Art on a Postcard Winter Auction to culminate a year of celebrations marking 20 years of The Hepatitis C Trust
    The Trust was started by Charles Gore in 2001 as a response to being diagnosed with hepatitis C and not being able to find any reliable information. What started out as an information resource quickly turned into a lobbying and advocacy group and is now front and centre in the national elimination process.

    Key milestones in the Trust’s history include

    • The Trust taking over the Secretariat of the first All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Hepatology of MPs and Peers – 2005
    • Leading on the first audit of hepatitis C care across the UK – 2006
    • World Hepatitis Day is adopted by one of only seven official World Health Organization (WHO) days to be held annually on the 28th July – 2010
    • The Trust launches its first mobile testing van for hepatitis C – 2011
    • Successful lobbing by The Trust leads to national commissioning of hepatitis C services – 2012
    • 194 countries commit to eliminating hepatitis C by 2030 – 2016
    • NHS England announce a unique elimination deal – 2019

    I started working at The Trust in 2006 after making Louie, Me and Hepatitis C – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLYpkerxRXg&t=7s a film about my treatment of hepatitis C. We were a tiny team back then and we all had to pitch in and do a bit of everything. I’ve seen The Trust grow enormously and continuously punch above its weight which I believe has dictated the impressive results our organisation has had. The other significant change I’ve seen is the old treatment which was less than 50% successful and entailed up to a year of an invasive chemo style treatment has now been replaced by a few pills which work in a matter of weeks and have over a 95% success rate. I made a follow up film (it’s only 4 minutes) detailing my own successful treatment with the new drugs & the challenges we still face, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylcRXBslcL8 . We are still working to find and treat the people who don’t know they have hepatitis C. The money from this auction will go to the very important work we do on our helpline and the part it is playing in the current Infected Blood Inquiry – https://www.infectedbloodinquiry.org.uk/ as well as our ultimate goal of eliminating hepatitis C by 2030.

    Art on a Postcard has been running as a fundraiser since 2014. Artists who have taken part in our auctions include Damien Hirst, Gavin Turk, Marc Quinn, Gilbert and George, Peter Blake RA, Grayson Perry RA, Larry Clark, Michael Craig Martin RA, Chantal Joffe RA, Rebecca Salter RA, Joan Snyder, Wolfgang Tillmans, Paula Rego, Julian Opie, Hassan Hajajj, Cecily Brown, Harland Miller, Marina Abramoviç, Florine Démosthène, Labaina Himid and Jeremy Deller.   

    We want to make this year’s auction really special and include many of the best artists who have taken part over the years as well as new and emerging talent to celebrate 20 years of The Hepatitis C Trust.
