Our Story
Naz was formed in the early 1990s by the late HIV and gay rights activist Shivananda Khan in memory of Nazir, a gay Pakistani Muslim man who was tragically shunned by his mosque and loved ones after they learned he was living with HIV. Nazir was ostracised by his community and found no social support that understood the intersections of his ethnicity, sexuality, and faith. Naz was created to ensure this would never happen again.
Naz remains one of the largest and longest-running sexual health charities in London, initiated and led by Black, Brown and Global Majority staff. For over 30 years, we have provided HIV and LGBTQ+ support services, sexual health education and outreach, and campaigned for equitable health outcomes for Black, Brown, Global Majority and marginalised communities.

"I want to thank Naz and the Muslim Support service for its help, I was faced with immediate homeless and it is by the grace of God I have been provided the help by NAZ support services to help get back on my feet. I was so depressed and lonely, the group helped support me through the darkest of times."

“Fifteen years ago I had the most difficult situation in my life when a Doctor told me that I was HIV positive, I felt in the limbo on my own and without any support. Then I heard about Naz. Nowadays I am living a completely different lovely life, Thanks to NAZ Latina for all your support and for being in my life."

“My first session exceeded my expectations. The facilitators were not only compassionate they were also able to read the room. They gave everyone equal respect and attention, which left me feeling validated by the end of the session. This is a much needed space for people like us and I wish the group could meet more often.”
