A crisis may be linked to mental breakdown, cuts in welfare benefits, accident, redundancy, homelessness or other personal circumstances, but it always poses threats to the health and wellbeing of a person. Limited access to good nutrition or inadequate housing can cause significant deterioration for people living with HIV and their dependants. Along with our peer-led support, Positively UK offers welfare advice and financial support in extreme circumstances. Our hardship payments act as a safety net to cover day-to-day living costs.
