Verity - sharing the truth about PCOS

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.

Welcome to the local groups listing - here you will find details of where the local groups are, who the leader is, what their e-mail is, and also their Verity discussion board posting name.

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 a Verity member who is willing and able to commit a couple of hours a week to be a point of contact for your group, and co-ordinate informal meetings.  If you are interested, please email Dawn, our Local Group Co-Ordinator at localgroups@verity-pcos.org.uk and she will be in touch.
