Get Togethers
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 two separate monthly Get Togethers; one for GBS (the 3rd Thursday of each month at 2pm) and one for CIDP (the 4th Thursday of each month at 2pm).
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.
If you live in the North West of England the Lancashire and Cumbria group meets quarterly on a Saturday at 1.30pm in Catterall Village Hall , Garstang Road, Catterall, PR3 1XN.
​
Dates for 2025 are:
7th June
6th September
6th December
A group also meets in Leeds and York. Please check back here or on our social media for future dates.
We would love to see these vital groups spread across the UK and Ireland and there are plans for more to come soon. If you would like to set up something in your area, please contact us on 01529 469910, or email hello@inflammatoryneuropathies.uk ​
