Liverpool’s oldest LGBTQ+ charity has been remembering the life of Bob Silcock this past week.
The “Merseyside legend” and “local treasure” was a founding member of the Merseyside AIDS Helpline - one of the organisations that went on to form Sahir House. The charity said Mr Silcock was instrumental in helping reduce the stigma around HIV.
Mr Silcock died last month at the age of 92. His funeral is set to take place at the start of March at Liverpool Parish Church Our Lady's St Nicolas, Pier Head, which is said to have been “his spiritual home for many years”.
