Facebook Support Group
Our Facebook Support Group connects and supports people affected by lymphoma from across the UK.
Join our Facebook Support Group
This moderated group provides emotional and practical support for anyone over 18 across the UK affected by lymphoma, including family, friends and carers. It’s a space to share thoughts, feelings, experiences and non-medical questions with others.
We have over 6,000 members, so whether you are newly diagnosed or many years on from treatment, the group offers valuable peer support at any time.
90% of members would recommend the group to others! Here is what some of our members think about the group.
What makes this group so special is that it's a safe space. Every member has been affected by lymphoma in some way, so you get actual, real, responses.
What difference can the group make?
Being part of the group brings so many benefits; from feeling understood and acknowledged, having a social connection, to getting hints and tips from other group members about how to cope with living with and beyond lymphoma. In our 2024 survey:
89% of members felt more informed from joining the group
74% of members felt less isolated
73% of members felt more supported
69% of members felt like someone understands
60% of members felt more reassure
This group has been my lifeline. Every question was responded by so many supportive lovely people. I didn’t know where to turn and this place was it.
Joining the group is simple, and you can register online within minutes. Our group moderators are online to welcome you.
Please make sure you answer all the joining questions, which include some do’s and don’ts that we ask all group members to follow – you’ll see these when you click through to join. Our Social media community guidelines also apply. If you’re not already a member of Facebook and are considering joining you may want to consider reading Meta’s Terms of service and Privacy policy.
You can also follow our main Lymphoma Action Facebook page for regular news and updates.
All the statistics above come from our July 2024 survey of group members.
