Peer support

Connecting with someone who really understands can be a powerful source of support.

Whether you live with a muscle wasting condition or support someone who does, we can connect you with people who get it.

Talk 1-1 to a volunteer or join a group.

Choose your support

1-1 peer support

Our trained peer support volunteers have personal experience of living with a muscle wasting condition, or a family member who lives with one. They will listen without judgement. They know exactly what you’re going through.

Peer support groups

Our peer support groups are safe and welcoming spaces where you can talk, or just listen, to others affected by muscle wasting conditions. 

Facebook and WhatsApp groups

Join one of our WhatsApp or Facebook groups and meet new people, share experiences, and get advice in a friendly and supportive environment.
