    Situation

    Everybody who receives our services has been identified by a health or social care professional as at risk without nutritional intervention. Our service users are often face a range of complex issues alongside their HIV status, these include poverty, isolation, depression, dependency, uncertain asylum status, disability or mobility issues.

    Solution

    The Food Chain breaks this cycle by providing people with access to nutritious food in their most difficult days and giving them the tools to stay well long term. Good nutrition is vital for people living with HIV. Antiretroviral drugs can control HIV infection, but without a diet of good food, the immune system cannot effectively rebuild itself protect itself from infections, weight loss and muscle wasting.
