General Support

We offer one-to-one support to children, young adults and their families, both within clinics and in the community. This may be emotional support, social support to help connect them with peers or mental health support. We can help advocate for young people within wider agencies such as schools, colleges, social care and health services. Find out more.

Hardship Support

We offer financial support to those going through times of crisis. This might cover food deliveries, household essentials, travel to appointments, or formula milk for nursing mothers. Find more information about eligibility and how to refer, here.

Projects and activities

Chiva organises regular group days out, weekends away, and other events and projects to bring together children, young people and young adults who are growing up living with HIV. Find out more here.
