Hundreds of pounds has been raised online to help deliver a permanent memorial for everyone affected by HIV and AIDS.

Last week (10 February) we told you about community groups, businesses and people in the city coming together to make it happen.

It follows on from the success of "It's A Sin" on TV.

It's going to be somewhere in Birmingham's Southside District but there aren't any details yet, exactly where it'll be, or what it'll look like.

The online fundraising page was set up this week.

Tomorrow (19 February) a virtual fundraising event's happening at the Nightingale Club in Birmingham.

There's also another fundraising page here.
