Support Groups
At UKCPO, we believe that no one should have to navigate their journey with obesity alone. Lived experience is at the heart of everything we do, and our peer-to-peer support network reflects that.
At UKCPO, we believe that no one should have to navigate their journey with obesity alone. Lived experience is at the heart of everything we do, and our peer-to-peer support network reflects that. We know how powerful it can be to talk to someone who truly understands — someone who’s been there, faced similar challenges, and found their own way forward.
That’s why we’ve created a range of supportive spaces where people living with obesity can connect, share openly, and feel seen without judgement. Whether you’re seeking advice, reassurance, or simply a listening ear, our community is here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Facebook Support Groups
Join our private, moderated Facebook communities to connect with others who understand your journey. We offer two dedicated spaces:
This facebook group is for anyone living with obesity, offering peer support, shared experiences, and encouragement.
This facebook group is for those considering, waiting for, or recovering from weight-loss surgery.
