Starting a group

Self help groups, focusing on a wide range of health-related conditions, continue to grow and develop in Derby, from cancer to hair loss,barriers to access, parenting issues, mental health, learning disability and infertility. We give support in setting up and running a committee and all aspects of establishing an organisation on a volunteer basis.

The specialist support to minority ethnic communities is flourishing, with almost three times the number of self help groups receiving the service in the first year. This site has special sections in Punjabi, Urdu and Hindi.
