Wondering if there is any? Alternatively if anyone interested to meet up, would be great to meet other lymphies.

Hi Sam. Have you joined Lymphoedema United? Matt is organising small groups in various locations where a few people meet for a coffee and a chat giving you the opportunity to 'compare notes' and meet other lymphoedema sufferers in your area. Joining Lymphoedema United is free and I recommend you speak to him to see if he has your area in his plans to bring a local group together. Naomi.

Thanks, i already have.The sessions at the moment are based on the outskirts i.e Essex which is quite far out and not really London.

I was looking for groups in London, ideally people willing to meet at a more central location in London.

If anyone is interested, I would be happy to organise.

Hi Sam,

I would be happy to meet up and live in London. I was diagnosed last year and was disappointed there was no support group established. Apparently one existed pre COVID but never restarted!

Hi Great idea - As a 'senior' feel somewhat isolated - not always easy to get around.

Hi Whereabouts in London are you? I live in Hertfordshire and planning on setting up a social support group via .LymphoedemaUnited (join them if you haven’t already!) . I probably won’t start it up until after the summer holidays though but check that website out for other info

Hi, in Harrow. I don't drive at the moment so Hertfordshire is too far for me. I will be arranging a meet up in Central London this summer, let me know if you'd like to join.
