Our Face-to-Face Peer Support Groups
You don’t need to live in Leeds to attend — if you can get to us, you’re welcome!

If you’re looking for a friendly, relaxed group where you can be yourself without judgment, pressure, or expectations, our face-to-face peer support groups could be just what you need. Here, you’ll be among people who understand.

  • No time limits — come for as long as you want
  • No obligation — attend when you can or need to

​
What We Offer
