Norwich Support Group

The Norwich support group is a team of volunteers who offer people affected with osteoporosis the chance to meet other people in the area similarly affected, get information, support and ask questions about osteoporosis treatment and care.

This support group regularly holds meetings in Norwich. Attendees are welcome from anywhere in UK, there is no requirement to live within the city/region to attend these meetings.

Can you help?

The Norwich Support Group are low in volunteer numbers to help organise meetings and events for people with osteoporosis. There are lots of ways to get involved, from admin to organising meetings to awareness events and we need more people to help with the group so we can continue to host meetings. Please get in touch if you are able to help, by emailing volunteerengagement@theros.org.uk
