I am running the 2025 World AIDS Day RED RUN to raise funds for The Food Chain. It is the most extraordinary charity, existing to ensure people living with HIV in London can access the nutrition they need to get well, stay well and lead healthy, independent lives.

People living with HIV often struggle to access the food they need to stay well, because of ill health, poverty, isolation, a lack of motivation to eat well, or limited skills or knowledge.

Every service user is referred by a health or social care professional who has identified them in need of nutritional support. Each service user receives a Personalised Nutrition Care Plan designed specifically to meet their needs. By offering a tailored package of support, at the appropriate time, The Food Chain helps people to lead healthy, independent lives.

The Food Chain delivers meals and groceries, offers cookery and nutrition classes and communal eating opportunities to people living with HIV in London and their dependents.
