This is the official page for SocialLight, a new social/support group set up for people with disabilities. Hello, and a very warm welcome to the official page for the SocialLight group. Please note that SocialLight is NOT a disability service, social service or a non-profitable charitable organisation. These topics and categories had to be assigned when creating and setting up th
e page to make this more discoverable on the site. An exciting project set up in August 2020 during the coronavirus pandemic, SocialLight, a social group and support group for people with disabilities, which was postponed in September 2020 due to lockdowns and gathering restrictions enforced by the Government from last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The group’s get-togethers have been running since May 2021 and we had a good turnout attending our July get-together. For the benefit of other disabled people, we decided to set up and run a regular monthly coffee and lunch social group get-together event for people with disabilities to come together and meet for social interaction to chat, socialise, meet people and make new friends, have a drink and something to eat, and to also be used as a support group to share and discuss worries, problems and any issues they are having. This group is for members aged between 18-45 years old with disabilities only. The aim and objective of this coffee/lunch social/support group meetup event is to improve the social life, mental health and wellbeing of disabled people, to get them more active and socially engaging and interacting with others and to remove their anxiety, depression, isolation and loneliness. We invite you to join our group. We warmly welcome you to the group. We are a very friendly, relaxed community where members can chat about anything and everything within reason and boundaries, interact, socialise, meet and get to know members in our WhatsApp and Facebook group before attending our meetups and hopefully make new friends. We hope you enjoy your time with us and make good friendships in our community. New joining members and existing members must be a UK citizen and living in the UK and must have a disability to join the SocialLight WhatsApp, Facebook and Meetup groups and to attend our in-person meetups.
