In order to access The Food Chain’s services you must be referred by a health professional or another support organisation. We are known to all the HIV clinics in the Greater London area so that’s a good place to ask, and you can read more about how to access our services here.
One of our dietitians will contact each person who is accepted onto service and talk to them and their referrer about the package of support we can offer.
