Support Groups

Did you know...all our support groups are run by Area Coordinators who volunteer their time to organise meetings all over the country. Our Area Coordinators are from all walks of life including some who suffer with EDS, to those who care for someone with it. Without our volunteers, the support we provide to you would cease to exist, so we are incredibly grateful for the invaluable work they do.

We have over 100 groups online and face to face, with the aim to provide safe, friendly environments where members can meet others, listen to people’s stories and learn from each other. All of our support groups also have a closed regional Facebook group for members only.

We are very grateful to all of our funders who help pay for the meetings, training of our volunteers and much more.

Hi, I’m Hannah (she/her), I’m really excited to be the Taunton area coordinator.

I was diagnosed with hEDS in 2023 and I’m also autistic and ADHD, and I have fibromyalgia and ME/CFS. I currently work as an autistic co-trainer for the Oliver McGowan mandatory training, which I absolute love doing.

In my free time, I love psychology, reading and crafts. I also adore spending as much time as possible with animals and I am a huge Swiftie!

I’m excited to hopefully connect with lots of you locally, and to provide a safe space for us Zebra’s!

Members of EDS UK are welcome to join their regional closed members group on Facebook. Visit us here to join your regional group
