Peer Support Groups Continue & Actual Group Meetings Restart

Peer Support Groups Continue & Actual Group Meetings Restart

“Virtual meetings are good but actual meetings are better”

 In addition to our first ever Virtual World AIDS Day Service CAPS convened 24 Virtual Peer Support Meetings attended by 75 individuals through the year. Although Virtual meetings lack the important element of sharing food together and cannot replace the value of actual physical encounter, these meetings did allow the participation of members from all across the country, and internationally who would not ordinarily attend meetings in London or Manchester. 

“It was so good to see everyone again. Thanks so much for a brilliant day out!”

As soon as Covid restrictions allowed we gathered together in the summer for walks, picnics and an enjoyable day out at Hampton Court. These ‘out-door’ activities will continue as additional activities which reduce isolation and improve both physical and mental health.
