Support in Ipswich, Suffolk?

[Kimmy1]

Hi Everyone!

I have recently been diagnosed with Endo and struggling to find support groups in or around the Ipswich, Suffolk area. Does anyone know of any nearby?

Thanks

Hi Kimmy1

I live on the norfolk suffolk border, and there don't appear to be any support groups close. I'd love to meet though as it really is hard for family and friends to talk about this illness. And there aren't support groups but I am sure there are plenty of women who want one! Its never going to happen without someone putting in that initial effort.

Hi nancylaurathompson,

Thank you for getting in touch!

Since writing this an Endometriosis UK support group was created in Colchester and I have been going along to that for the last year. It’s the closest one I can find, a couple of other people attend from Ipswich too. Depending on how far you are, the next meeting is this Saturday at Myland Parish Church Hall on Mile End Road from 10.00-12.00pm. You could come along? They also have a Facebook page and Instagram account if you want to have a look.

Kimberley 😀
