Our next meetings are noted below. Face-to-face meetings are held on the first Thursday of the month and are at Champions Manor Hall, Hullbridge Road, South Woodham Ferrers, Essex, CM3 5LJ.
We understand that attending your first support meeting can be daunting. If you feel more comfortable please use the "Contact Us" form, email us at support.essex@sands.org.uk or phone first before attending, so we can talk you through what to expect.
