Is the a support group for the middle aged?

Hi, I would like to know whether a support group for us young ones (30-55) exist in London? I'm 53 by the way. My mum has had ataxia SCA6 for the past 18 years. I was only diagnosed in May of this year. I sometimes take her to the support group but it isn't for me as all of them are elderly

🤔 16-30s are catered for separately online, but generally speaking ataxia support groups comprise of a mixture of ages 🙂 Since you live in London, are you within easy travelling distance to more than one group, a different group may have more people around your age 🤔 Alternatively, contact other group leaders and ask your question, you never know, there could be other members feeling the same way 🙂xB
