Online support groups

Our virtual support groups are facilitated by our dedicated Outreach team and offer a safe, welcoming space for patients, carers, and family members affected by liver disease or liver cancer. These groups are designed to provide peer-to-peer support, helping you connect with others who understand what you’re going through.

Each session is a chance to share experiences, ask questions, and gain practical advice on living well with a liver condition. Topics often include looking after your liver through healthy eating, physical activity, emotional wellbeing, and day-to-day management of your condition.

We’re also regularly joined by guest speakers, including healthcare professionals, dietitians, and others, who bring expert insight to help support you and your loved ones.
