Scotland Group

Welcome to the Scotland Support Group for Facial Palsy UK. We aim to build a communicative network across Scotland so that we may assist in organising support according to your needs and locations, be that online or in person. No matter what stage of recovery, our support groups aim to offer a safe space for you to share your experiences and support each other. Where possible, we also aim to offer talks from industry professionals on subjects which are relevant and helpful in your journey. We are open to hearing about topics which might be of interest to you. Family, friends and loved ones are all very welcome.

Please join our WhatsApp group and/or Facebook group page and let us know where you are and how you are doing. If you do not use these online platforms, please feel free to reach out via email. You can read our WhatsApp group guidelines here.

We look forward to meeting you soon.
