Children with Aids Charity (CWAC) was conceived in 1992 within the paediatric department of St Mary's Hospital, Paddington. The founders were a small group of healthcare professionals and parents who became increasingly aware of the acute shortage of services for children infected and affected by HIV and AIDS. CWAC aims to help the youngest of those infected and affected by HIV and AIDS to lead as near normal a life as possible by providing the following services:

• The Hardship & Respite Breaks Project to help provide basic items such as clothing, bedding and household items and grants towards individual family breaks within the UK.
• The Bonnie Camps Project to subsidize days out, and respite trips for children and families.
• Transport service to help children keep hospital and/or support group appointments or to transport families to them when they are on the wards.
• Education to promote awareness amongst children of all ages about the facts and fallacies surrounding HIV and AIDS issues, and to combat fear and prejudice.
• Events to raise funds and give paediatric HIV and AIDS a more prominent media profile.
