Belfast Local Peer Support Group
Tuesday 24 September, 7.00pm - 8.00pm - via Zoom - Come and join the Belfast Bumpers Group for an online catch up where we will be talking about volunteering for Retina UK.
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.
We are always striving to continually grow our peer support group network with more local based and online group meetings so we are pleased to announce that we will be launching our new ‘Talking’ Home & Garden peer support group later in the year – please visit our Coming Soon page to find our more and register your interest to receive updates and invitations.
