"I have no one else to talk to about this and could not do without you- I’m so

grateful that I can phone when at my lowest and feel I have to be

strong for the rest of the family”

 

The Family Services team are here to offer support, information and advice, to all people dealing with metabolic conditions, whether you are affected yourself, a parent/carer, a healthcare professional or someone who just wants to know more , we remain here to offer support with all area’s of metabolic conditions.

Over the last 25 years we have gained vast experience and knowledge of the complex needs of  those affected, as well as gaining worldwide links with specialists in this area. Many of these condition’s are extremely rare and very little is known about them. For families diagnosed it can be a very isolating and frightening experience, with many new hurdles to face often with little information about what the future will hold.  Our hope is that through ongoing research as well as offering continued support we can work alongside families and individuals each step of the way, easing isolation, sharing knowledge and raising awareness.
