Support Group

nh_user_30384 · June 23, 2015, 1:53pm

Would anyone be interested in setting up a support group in the Bristol area (UK)? We could meet and share experiences. I'd be willing to coordinate.

I've been thinking that it would be difficult to meet out, for example in a cafe, as we might be inhibited to talk frankly, but maybe we could rotate round people's houses. There's also going to be people who can meet in the day, and people for whom evenings are better. Lots of things to think about, and I haven't done anything like this before, but I'm willing to give it a try.

Any takers?

What a brilliant idea wish I lived in Bristol.

Excellent idea for local support groups. I live in Southend on Sea, Essex. Well done for taking the initiative

nh_user_29815 · June 23, 2015, 3:11pm

Yes, I could be interested in a support group. I live in Bath, so not too far away!

Hi, I've sent you a pm, Samantha

nh_user_30384 · June 24, 2015, 11:06am

So three of us so far within easy reach. I'll wait a bit longer and see if there's anyone else.

Annie and Brbara I've PM'd you

No I haven't! I can't work out how to do it! Can someone explain it to me please - Oh I'm so dense...

nh_user_29815 · June 24, 2015, 2:08pm

Just click on the little envelope by each user's name!

Would love to but I'm in North Yorkshire a little too far for me. Good luck with it and update us on here x

Very interested. I'm in Cheltenham.

I know this was posted a year ago but have you started the support group as I've just recently been diagnosed with LS. I live in the Bristol North area

Many thanks

Karen

I also live in Bath - though I see your post was more than a year ago!

nh_user_949002 · October 24, 2016, 8:05pm

I am also wondering if anything came of this support group. I am in Bath.

nh_user_674837 · October 25, 2016, 7:11am

Hi

I'm not sure if it went ahead. I didn't hear anything. Sorry I can't be any more help.

Hello folks. My husband was very ill just after I started getting in touch with people and I dropped out of the picture. I'm not aware of anything going ahead, but would be happy to join in if it did.

Karen, I'm in Bristol too, would be happy to meet up. I sent you a direct message, did you get it?

nh_user_913111 · November 11, 2016, 1:14am

Hi, I would be so grateful if I could join a support group. I'm 45 years old and live in Exeter Devon. I was diagnosed with LS in August this year.
