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.

Hey Everyone, I am neurodivergent, my pronouns are He/Him. I was diagnosed with HSD/hEDS in 2022 and not long after Diabetic too. Everyday I learn something new about EDS.

Previously I worked at Holland and Barrett which gave me a lot of insight into alternative ways to support health and wellbeing.

I love sharing my knowledge and support. I enjoy collaborating with our EDS community because we are all so different and one way doesn’t work for

all. I enjoy going to the Cinema, finding the latest craft obsession and playing my playstation.

I look forward to meeting you all.
