Hi everyone,

I know we have a lot of siblings on this forum, who support their learning disabled brother/sister. I want to let you know about these new online support groups, run by the charity Sibs.

There are groups in different areas of the UK, and a national group for anyone that doesn't have a local one nearby. There is also a group for bereaved siblings.

You can join a group if you are:

- Aged 18 or over

- Live in the UK

- Have a brother or sister who has a lifelong disability, such as a learning disability

You can find out more about the groups and join here: sibs.org.uk/support-for-adu...
