Local Resources

A core part of our community-building mission is connecting our users with their local services, communities, resources and events. You can use the search function or simply scroll through our directory of local resources to find the support you’re looking for.

Is something missing? Get in touch to suggest a resource or even become one of our Preferred Partners. You may help your community – others may also be seeking the right service, too.

Health support groups

When experiencing an illness, you may wish to connect with others with a shared experience. Cancer support groups, a diabetes tea & chat event, a vision support & advice service… all these number among the many charities, services and regular meetups.

Mental health and wellbeing groups 

There are so many reasons people may need mental health services or the chance to connect with others with shared experiences. Browse the counselling services and support groups in our list of resources to find the right event or service for you.

Shelter & Housing

Having a safe place to stay is a fundamental right. The directory above can point anyone having housing issues or facing homelessness to the most suitable resources.

Disabilities

We believe anyone with any disability deserves help, advice and community. A number of our Preferred Partners believe the same and you can find their details for yourself or for someone else within our Local Connections directory.

Carers

It’s often hardest for the people who most deserve a break and some support to find it. That’s why our resources directory houses support groups and charities for part-time and full-time carers, young and old, to lean on.

This directory is available to non-members and members alike – its goal is not to boost sign ups but to spread the word of the wonderful work our local groups and charities are doing, and ensure the help they’re giving reaches the people who most need it.
