List of UK Hepatitis Support Groups
List of UK Liver and Hepatitis Support Groups

We have tried to attend and work with these groups over the years, especially those in the London and South East region.  To date many are still more hepatitis C focussed, but their wisdom at liver friendly diet, toxins to avoid, ailments, symptoms arising from liver disease and compassion and support offerings make them well worth a call.  If you call us we can often try to visit along with you to these venues, especially in the South East.  Once again with thanks to the British Liver Trust for compiling and supporting these groups.
