Across England, peer support groups are quietly changing lives every single week.

✅They’re volunteer-led.

✅They’re local.

✅They’re there at the point of need – with no waiting list.

Every year, these groups support over 1,000 people, offering safe spaces to share experiences, learn coping strategies and reduce isolation.

And right now, 30 new groups are in development – because the need for immediate intervention and support is growing.
