Depression Self-Help Group

Self-help groups are invaluable to people experiencing mental ill health. Amongst many benefits a self-help group provides an opportunity to address concerns and difficulties in a supportive environment. It is an excellent way of breaking isolation.

I am fundraising to set up a drop in depression self-help group for Depression Alliance in Manchester, UK. The group welcomes everyone from all backgrounds affected by depression to attend and will be run on a voluntary basis. However, to be able to run this group we will need a venue, which will incur some room hire costs. As we do not receive any funding from anywhere else I am aiming to raise funds for the group to be able to hire a room for the next 6 months for a two hour period once a month.

Please help enable a supportive environment for discussion for people affected by depression. All donations will be gratefully accepted and all funds raised will be used for room hire costs for this group.

Many Thanks,
