Rare Communities Coffee and Chat London October

Sick of always having to explain your condition?  Join us for a cuppa on Saturday 12th October in London and chat with people who just get it. 

When you live with a rare condition, we understand that it's good to meet people with the same or a similar rare condition as you.  This is why we are bringing our rare communities together for an informal and fun afternoon with cake and coffee!

We know that it can be hard to commit to something when you have a rare condition, so if you are interested, but not sure you will be able to make it, sign up anyway, that way you'll get the information nearer the time, and you can see how you feel on the day. 

It is incredibly important to meet people in person in my opinion...  and to have someone...  who has also been through it all is such a blessing in a very isolated world!

Why should you come?

• So you can have a cup of tea or coffee with someone who you don’t have to explain your condition to
• Enjoy a really good chinwag with someone about the symptoms/side effects that are bothering you at the moment
• To learn all about the support available from your charity
• There will be cake!

I was diagnosed ... in 2017 I have never met anyone with the same diagnosis so going to the coffee morning and meeting people who knows what my condition is was great!
