From today, the Terrence Higgins Trust helpline THT Direct, is extending its service by offering people living with HIV face to face advice on welfare benefits, housing, employment, immigration and debt.  The service already offers face to face meetings for emotional support and general information.

Meetings would take place at THTs central office in Gray’s Inn Road, King’s Cross on Mondays to Fridays between 10.30 and 12.30 initially. If the service is popular the hours may be extended. Face to face meetings are offered to anyone with HIV who might use THT Direct’s advice service but would prefer to have a meeting in person, rather than speak to an advisor over the phone. 

Willie Turnbull, Head of THT Direct said “THT Direct already gives out a lot of valuable advice on benefits, housing, employment, immigration and debt.  Often people might be dealing with a complicated situation and it can really help to sit down with someone and talk issues through. People can feel confident that if they book an appointment, they’ll find our advisers are experienced and helpful.”

For further information, an initial assessment or an appointment please call THT Direct on 0845 12 21 200
