Why We Do This?

People join support groups to help themselves. When they are quite unwell, sometimes they just need a bit of an extra hand. Sharing information and emotional support helps break down social isolation and reduces loneliness and depression.

People share a sense of “belonging”, and feel safer in the knowledge that they are not alone. The more people take charge of their own health and wellbeing, the less need for hospitalization, and emergency callouts, and less drain on the taxpayer dollar.
