    Good news indeed for many of those on the dark side of the Pennines, ichabod :wink: It's a service that deserves to be well-used and I hope it is. Congratulations to all concerned.

    I did this about 18 months ago, I think it was a trial run.
    I was rang once a week for an hour, well 3 hours really as we did have a lot of laughs.
    I think this is the same thing. It was really very good but they could not give advice I needed so my feed back was if some one asks what do you do then the person should be able to answer as though you were talking to a friend etc

    Good point James.
    The volunteers who deliver this service are not medical people,
    whether or not they are in their working capacity. One of the things they can and will do with your agreement is direct you to services which you may find useful. It would then be your decision to take any suggested step. The service is based on self management.

    There are now 7 people using the AC support service, and
    I would like to remind everyone that this is a free service and
    is available to anyone who has any of the many forms of
    arthritis.
    Unfortunately it is presently only available in these districts
    Chorley, Preston and South Ribble, but if the demand is there,
    AC hope to extend the coverage.
    The contacts details are set out in my first post.

    Finally a positive from living under the red rose instead of the white!

    Great idea though, really brilliant from the people that run it.

    Have you tried the grey tab above labelled 'In My Area'. There might be something on offer.
