Practical support for day-to-day living with artificial nutrition at home

We are an independent, not-for-profit membership charity, providing support and understanding to those adapting to life on home artificial nutrition.

Our aim is to offer support, empathy and contact to patients who require Enteral or Parenteral nutrition at home.

We also look to work with healthcare professionals seeking information about artificial nutrition and to help companies offer better services and equipment.

As a membership community we form a united voice for patients on a European and International level and take pride in our collaborations with NICE and the NHS.

We welcome you to explore our website and access all of our resources through a free membership account.

We also welcome donations and corporate membership applications.
