About Self Help UK

For anyone interested in improving health and wellbeing, Self Help UK is a community development charity that equips, empowers and encourages positive change. Our services are designed and informed by our specialist knowledge and experience in personalised care, enriched by our history of community involvement. We have a strong record in innovation and solution-finding. Our consultancy services promote, support and enable peer support in different sectors by empowering organisations and professionals to create, develop, and run peer support groups. Peer support groups can encourage someone to feel less alone and more understood. Peer support is diverse. That's why we ask relevant questions to get the right product for your organisation, locally or nationally, large or small. Our consultancy work enables effectively managed co-production and co-alliances, and policy development. We provide specialist cancer services. Our Macmillan Beyond Diagnosis Service provides practical and emotional support to those affected by cancer. By offering short-term assistance, facilitating access to support groups and activities, and connecting individuals with vital resources, we help improve overall wellbeing. Through our Primary Care Network (PCN) and Link Worker initiatives, we focus on improving cancer care. By increasing screening participation, providing holistic support through Cancer Care Reviews, and promoting healthy behaviours, we positively impact patient outcomes and reduced crisis situations. Our Macmillan Deaf Cancer Support Project led by a Deaf team, provides virtual emotional and practical support to Deaf people experiencing cancer. Collectively, our organisation makes a substantial impact by connecting individuals to support networks, equipping them with skills and knowledge, providing practical assistance, and improving cancer care processes. We are proud to have empowered and supported individuals and groups on their journey towards better health.
