Saturday 25 January 2025, 12.00pm - 2.00pm - In-person - Come and join Rachael and the group for their first social get together of 2025 at The Slug & Lettuce in Deansgate, Manchester.
Our Retina UK Peer Support Group network offers information and support via regular meetings both online or in-person.
Groups meet in person or virtually and are a welcoming, safe and friendly place for people to share experiences, tips and information and form friendships.
Our local peer support groups meet online or in-person at different venues around the UK. If there isn’t one currently in your area, please get in touch with Mark Baxter, our Information and Support Coordinator. You can email him at services@RetinaUK.org.uk or call him on 07889 595783.
More information about upcoming events can be found in our Events Calendar.
