Are you looking after a relative friend or neighbour who couldn't manage without your help?
Maybe you don't realise but that makes you an unpaid carer. If you feel you need advice or just to meet others in the same situation for a coffee and chat then this group is for you.

Most people don’t realise that when you buy a coffee, a sandwich, or breakfast from your local café, a huge chunk of that sale goes straight to VAT.

Independent hospitality businesses are facing rising costs from every angle, yet the UK still has one of the highest hospitality VAT rates in Europe.

We’re backing the call for a fairer 10% hospitality VAT rate, helping protect local businesses, local jobs and the independent venues that give our towns their character.

If Riverhead has ever been part of your morning routine, catch-up with friends, post-run coffee or weekend treat, we’d really appreciate you taking a minute to support the campaign.

Living with conditions such as ME/CFS, Long COVID, Brain Injury, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, or other energy-limiting illnesses can be incredibly challenging.

Many people tell us they feel misunderstood, unsupported, or as though no one truly understands the impact these conditions have on their daily lives.

Do you struggle with:

✨ Managing symptoms and fluctuating energy levels?
✨ Balancing work, family life, and everyday responsibilities?
✨ Feeling isolated from friends and social activities?
✨ Explaining your condition to others who just don't seem to understand?

Our peer support groups provide a safe, welcoming, and understanding space where you can connect with people who genuinely understand the challenges you face.

💚 Share your experiences without judgement
💚 Learn practical tips and coping strategies from others with lived experience
💚 Feel heard, believed, and supported
💚 Build friendships and meaningful connections
💚 Discover that you are not alone on this journey

At Brain Health Breakthrough CIC, we believe that connection, compassion, understanding, and community can make a real difference.

Come and join a supportive community where your experiences matter, your voice is heard, and you can connect with others who truly understand.

📩 Get in touch to find out more about our peer support groups.

**Together we can create connection, belonging, hope, and support.**
