West Somerset, Taunton & Bridgwater
Group

My name is Jenny and I am the group leader and local contact in Somerset. Endo can make you feel alone and lost, angry and frustrated; as I have experienced all of these emotions myself, I wanted to share my experiences of coping with others.

I have suffered with endometriosis for nearly fifteen years, tried many treatments and had several surgical procedures. I have been a volunteer with Endometriosis UK since 2004 and enjoy being involved in raising awareness and have taken part in quite a few fundraising events over the years.

My group provides support, information and understanding for those with endometriosis and their families so whether you've just been diagnosed or have been living with endometriosis for years, coming along to my group is an opportunity to meet others living with endometriosis and allows the opportunity to share experiences, raise awareness and find out more about the condition and the important fact of knowing you aren’t alone!

NEXT MEETING: Tuesday 24 January
VENUE: Pitman Training Centre, 50 North Street, Taunton, TA1 1LX
TIME: 7.00PM

The next meeting will be a relaxing & rejuvinating programme of gentle seated stretches (no special clothes required!) There will be some lovely breathing exercises & an introduction to meditation.

 

Christmas Dinner
On Thursday 15 December, the Taunton Support Group will be going for a delicious Christmas Dinner at the Castle on the Green. This is a great chance to socialise and have fun and everybody is welcome. For more information, contact Jenny.


TRAVEL TO AND FROM MEETINGS If you have any transport problems for the meeting, please do let me know as most group members are willing to offer lifts and it may be possible we can arrange something so you do not miss out.
