The aim is to have local groups that meet regularly which not only provide support, but also give opportunities for individuals to get involved in a wide range of activities that will make a difference to the lives of those affected by PSP/CBD at a local level. If anyone is interested please get in touch.

It would be great if a support group network could be developed and would be much appreciated by us carers. Sadly however, as you are obviously very aware, caring for someone with PSP/CBD is more than a full-time occupation and although I would love to get involved there are never enough hours in the day for me to get involved in running a group. May be one day.....................

Hi, did you get any response to your interest in running a group? We are in Frome, but would be prepared to travel to a support group. My husband has had PSP for 8 years, first 4 of those diagnosed as Parkinsons. Now he is still wobbling about, great appetite for food, off all medication as there is no significant difference with/without it, except no side effects! Feel we could benefit and give benefit to other sufferers!

regards, Ann

I have got PSP and my husband cares for me. I read with interest that you would like to set up a local group in Kent. Kent is a very big county so perhaps you can let me know where you live in Kent. I live in Beckenham. which is a couple of miles from Bromley. My email address is susan.gillies@virgin.net, in case it is easier for you to contact me in that way.

With kind regards

Sue.

Hi can anyone tell me if there is a support group in northern ireland.

I am interested in running a group in Medway-is there anyone else out there?

I am still hoping to hear re a Medway group.A few times it has been mentioned that someone would be in touch but I have not heard from anyone. At this rate it will be too late for me as mum is teetering on end stage.
