"Monday 29^th June was just another day at Manchester based HIV Charity Body Positive North West (BPNW). Manchester’s Youth Offending Service were receiving training in the board room, food was being prepared in the kitchen and a large team of volunteers were busy renovating the drop-in centre and turning a bare car park into a lush garden full of activities for the growing number of young people using the centre.

Then Lady GaGa turned up. The hottest star in the world had picked BPNW from a large number of charities as the one she wanted to support.

GaGa’s unannounced visit was a surprise to the 50 or so volunteers who were taking part in an Orange RockCorps backed scheme to encourage young people to volunteer.

Each volunteer was rewarded with a ticket to GaGa’s gig at the Manchester Apollo on July 13.

Lady GaGa helped out with a massive self-portrait the BPNW volunteers had been working on by painting the words “Love + Art + Kindness” in pink onto it.

She said: “It’s been so amazing coming here today. The volunteers were so cute because they didn’t know I was coming. They looked up and were saying: ‘That looks like Lady GaGa.’” Click here for the full story and pictures.
