As patron of the Martin Fisher Foundation (MFF), a former member of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for HIV/Aids and honorary fellow of the British Association for Sexual Health & HIV, Baroness Joyce Gould of Potternewton is no stranger to lives lost.
Joyce, who lives in Brighton and became a Labour Peer in 1993, was originally a pharmacist but moved on to a career within the Labour Party and was its director of organisation from 1985 to 1993.
