What is Peer Support?
Our Peer Support Groups are facilitated by the Peer Support and Learning Team and provide a safe space for people to meet, share experiences, support each other and talk about what’s important to them.
After in-person groups, a buffet with a selection of sweet and savoury items is provided for lunch.
Taxis to and from the group will be organised by LCiL, if required.
