The Hillcrest AIDS Centre Trust is a registered charity in the UK (charity number 1104928). All trustees and helpers are volunteers from the professional sector. The charity undertakes fundraising in England to support the education of AIDS orphans in South Africa by paying for their school uniforms and books.

They undertake a major renovation of a different school each year, painting and decorating the classrooms and teaching the pupils. Since 2016, the project has continued, but using South African students.
