Younger people's network
The ROS Younger People's Network connects people under 50 living with osteoporosis. Run by the Royal Osteoporosis Society, we offer a free online community and live online sessions, where you can meet others who understand what you're going through.
Get involved
Our free online community for younger people under 50 is a welcoming space, available 24/7, where you can ask questions and share your experiences.
Our online sessions for younger people are live meetings where you can connect with others who get it. Stay up to date with activities and news from the network.
Meeting other younger people, reading their stories and experiences has made me feel less alone. It was the missing part of my treatment plan and has made me feel happier, supported and more confident about living with osteoporosis – Samantha, member of the Younger People’s Network
Shaped by younger people
Developed by people living with osteoporosis at a younger age, the Younger People's Network reflects what matters most to you.
A community that understands
Younger people living with osteoporosis may not have many opportunities to meet others in a similar situation. This network brings people under 50 together to connect with others who understand the challenges of an earlier diagnosis and how it can affect everyday life. Our online community and online sessions are spaces to share experiences and ideas, learn from others, and feel less alone.
I was just 27 when I was diagnosed and felt very alone. I didn't know anyone of a similar age who understood what I was going through - Jim, member of the Younger People’s Network
Practical help and shared experiences
Living with osteoporosis at a younger age can bring unique challenges - at work, in education, managing family and finances. Our network provides a safe space to talk about important topics, like navigating diagnosis alongside work or study, balancing family responsibilities, staying active, and daily life with osteoporosis.
When we've had meetings with younger people, it's amazing how people just click. It feels comforting knowing that others understand - Kieran, member of the Younger People’s Network
