Find out more about what happens at a Support Group. We are sorry to announce that due to the Coronavirus situation and government advice, the decision has been made to put our face-to-face support groups on hold. We are sorry for any disappointment this causes, and want to assure you that we did not take this decision lightly. We will update the group pages as soon as we are able to resume face-to-face meetings. In the meantime, some locations are engaging in online meetings via zoom or Microsoft Teams.
