Online Get Togethers
If you want to chat about what you are experiencing with others who are going through similar or the same issues, we host online monthly get togethers. All you need is access to a computer or a phone with an internet connection and with one click you can chat, ask questions, seek support, or simply have a good old moan!
These meetings are held over Zoom and are always attended and facilitated by us.
You can join as often - or as little - as you want, there is no pressure and no commitment.
Currently there are three separate monthly Get Togethers; one for GBS (the 3rd Thursday of each month at 2pm) one for CIDP (the 4th Thursday of each month at 2pm), and a new lunchtime session - IN between bites (the second Tuesday at 12pm).
​
Please note, if you've been diagnosed with a variant of GBS or CIDP, you're very welcome to join us! You may not meet someone with the exact same rare variant you have (though you never who will join us!), but you will meet people who understand the impact an inflammatory neuropathy may have on you.
Just join when you feel you need the support - simply click on the Zoom links below and follow the instructions.

Local Get Togethers
As much as friends and family can offer support and a listening ear, sometimes it helps to talk to people who really understand. The conditions we support are rare and, chances are you have never met anyone who is in the same position as you.
That's why we run local get togethers; a safe space for members, friends, families, carers and other supporters, to meet and offer each other help and advice. You can share your stories and experiences - and, importantly, know that you are not alone.
