If you are looking for a local group for support then please contact our helpline on 020 7436 5881 (9.30am - 5.00pm Mon - Fri) or helpline(at)uk-sands.org

If you are interested in being involved in the running of a group or would like to set one up in your area please contact Sue Hale, Group Development Manager on 0845 6520 443 or groups(at)uk-sands.org.

As a new or existing group it can be really helpful to link with other groups in your area. You can do this on an individual basis but we would encourage you to become involved in your regional group  network. We now have networks set up throughout the UK. Please contact Group Development Manager, Sue Hale on 0845 6520 443 or groups(at)uk-sands.org to find out details of other nearby groups and the details of the convenor for your network.

Many groups, but by no means all, now have their own websites. Please click on the link below.
