Due to the Covid pandemic, some support groups may not have returned to face-to-face meetings yet. However it is possible that some groups may be running online, by videocall. Please get in touch with the group organisers to find out more about how each group is running at the moment.

If there isn't a group running in your area and you would like help setting one up, get in touch with our support team on 0800 008 7054 or email [email protected] . We can provide practical and financial help, and can organise speakers and resources for your new group as required. We also have a useful support group handbook to help you get started.
