About Us
We are an independent, non-profit support group for people with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis, Fibromyalgia and other Post-Viral Fatigue Syndromes such as Long-Covid. Our group also supports the families and loved ones of those who suffer with these illnesses and welcome them to our meetings. Our group meets on two Wednesdays a month, once online and once in person at our fully accessible hub in Dove Holes in the High Peak. We also keep in-touch between meetings in our members only WhatsApp group.
Survive and Thrive is ran by volunteers who themselves are affected by these illnesses. We regularly have a theme to our meetings and keep them a safe and up-beat experience for everyone. At our meetings, we discuss how we manage and cope with different aspects of our conditions, as well as having occasional guest speakers, crafting days and more. Throughout the year we host events to raise money for relevant charities, raise awareness of the conditions and celebrate festive periods.
We also support recognised M.E events such as the Blue Sunday Tea Party and the Millions Missing Movement.
