Support Groups
Through our network of support groups, and regular information and support events, you can connect with people in your area going through the same thing as you.
All our support groups are run by volunteers, some who are living with osteoporosis, and others closely touched by the condition. They organise a programme of informal meetings, talks and social events, for you and your loved ones.
Support groups and our programme of information and support events are supported by our Volunteer and Public Engagement team. You can find the full list of current support groups in our A to Z of local groups.
I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the meeting on Monday. It was my first time and everyone was so welcoming, the volunteers were friendly and informative. Living on my own, I sometimes feel very anxious about my osteoporosis, and being able to share with other supporters our feelings and osteoporosis journey ‘lightened the load"
