Southampton Support Group

The Southampton Support Group is a team of volunteers who offer people affected with osteoporosis the chance to meet other people in the area similarly affected, get information, support and ask questions about osteoporosis treatment and care.

This support group regularly holds meetings in Southampton. Attendees are welcome from anywhere in UK, there is no requirement to live within the city/region to attend these meetings.
