Peer support is very important when dealing with PCOS. Feedback from Verity members at conferences and local group meetings show that a majority of women with PCOS appreciate being able to meet others dealing with the same condition. As well as the important sharing of knowledge about PCOS, simply being in the company of others sharing the same condition is very helpful.
Currently Verity members are meeting up informally in various places around the country. Using Verity Discussion Board, women are making contact with others in their area, and arranging 'get-togethers' in pubs, restaurants, coffee shops, etc.
Local Groups
Where are the Local Groups?
To find out where your nearest Local Group is, and when they meet please send an email to localgroups@verity-pcos.org.uk and one of the Local Group leaders will get back to you as soon as they are able.
You can also see the most updated Local Group discussions on our discussion board.
Want to become a Local Group Leader?
No local group near you? Want to setup a new group in your area?
We are currently looking to recruit volunteers to co-ordinate activities in their area. To be a Local Group Leader you need to be willing and able to commit a couple of hours every week or two to be a point of contact for your group, and co-ordinate informal meetings. If you are interested, please email us at localgroups@verity-pcos.org.uk and we will get back to you as soon as we are able.
