Local Support Groups

HDANI hosts regional support groups which meet monthly throughout the year. Groups are free to attend and are open to patients, carers, partners, family members, those at risk of HD or those with a loved one impacted by the disease.

While there is no strict age limit, those under the age of eighteen and young adults may be interested in our youth support programme.

Each group lasts for 1-2 hours and is facilitated by a support worker who keeps members up to date with our work, events and services and also acts as a point of information, providing practical and emotional support for group members. The groups are a chance to meet and learn from other people affected by HD and benefit from professional support all in an informal, non-judgemental space over a cuppa.

Where possible, we invite guests from other organisations to share learning on topics relevant to the group, for example: benefits, rights, health and wellbeing. While also providing carers and patients an opportunity to share their knowledge of HD and its impact on families with the aim of increasing awareness of HD while improving understanding and practice.
