We are pleased to announce the start of a new online support group for those specifically in the “affected” community (partners, parents, children, siblings and carers of those infected with hepatitis B, C or HIV through blood and blood products).
This will be in addition to our existing group which will continue and remains open to everyone in the wider infected blood community (next dates for that will be announced soon).
We very much hope that this new group will provide a safe, friendly and confidential space for all those in the “affected” community to come together, feel connected and share their experiences, perspectives and get support and information.
The sessions will be hosted by Samantha May and Lisa Jeffrey (from our Helpline and Information Support Service) and we are delighted to welcome and include Sheryl Mitchell (who herself is from the affected community) to co-host alongside us.
The groups will be held monthly on Zoom with a maximum of 12 people attending and the first session will be on Monday 26th January 2026 from 5pm to 6.30pm.
If you would like to attend (or register your interest for future groups), please email us at helpline@hepctrust.org.uk or call on 020 7089 6221 so we can add you to our confidential mailing list for further information.
