We aim to combine traditional peer support with physical activity to improve the mental wellbeing of our members. The group will go on a different walk each week, around the local area to improve fitness and confidence and build friendships. Our longest walk never exceeds one hour, fifteen minutes, one way, level ground. Where possible we always like to find a café or similar for light refreshments. We appreciate that public transport can sometimes be late. If you are planning to come along, please message us so that we know to wait for you.

Do you have a brother or sister living with mental illness? You are not alone! When your brother or sister is unwell it can be a difficult time for you and your family. You might have lots of questions and concerns. You might be worried about your sibling and how best to support them. You might need some support for yourself and find it difficult to know where to turn. The Bristol Siblings Group is a voluntary led peer support group for over 18s, and we run the group on a Thursday evening, once a month, via Zoom. A supportive space: Whether your sibling is experiencing poor mental health for the first time, or they have been affected by mental illness for longer, you are very welcome to come along to our monthly meetings where you can: • meet other siblings • share your experiences and the emotions you feel as a sibling • access information on mental health issues and sibling support • realise you are not alone. A place to share: The group is very friendly and informal, and you’ll have the chance to offload, and talk about whatever’s going on for you and your family. It’s up to you how much or little you talk, but you can feel sure there will people at the group who want to listen and connect with you. Information and learning: We share information on how to look after someone who is unwell and share ideas about how to look after our own mental health.

Our OCD Support Group based in Sheffield offers adults over 18 with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and OCD Spectrum conditions the opportunity to talk about their symptoms, to listen to the stories of other members, to share information, insights, peer support and coping mechanisms in a safe and secure environment. Over time. we as facilitators we have grown to understand that the pattern of presenting symptoms which always feel unique to the individual, creating at times an overwhelming burden of isolation and shame. These feelings can however be effectively combatted when members are able to come together in a confidential environment - a common physical and mental space where over time a shared understanding develops as it becomes clear that the faulty underlying cognitive processes in OCD are in fact common to every member. And once these barriers are broken down the fight against OCD is re-energised. New members are always welcome - no referral is required but we do ask that if possible you email us before attending. We don't have the capacity to allow carers/family members along to the meetings but in exceptional circumstances this can be accommodated for new attendees.
