About Social Anxiety Alliance UK (Charity)

Our aim is to provide help and resources for individuals suffering from social anxiety and social phobia, alongside providing general educational information on this common yet often under-publicised mental health problem. Social anxiety disorder involves an excessive fear of social situations. Sufferers will often fear being embarrassed or worry about being negatively evaluated by others. Anticipatory anxiety and situational avoidance are common, and individuals may endure social situations with a high level of discomfort. Everyone’s experience of social anxiety is likely to be different. The scope of the anxiety may be focused on specific types of social situations or generalised to almost any social or public encounter. We believe we are the first dedicated social anxiety charity in the UK and we are still in the early stages of the journey. We are entirely funded by donations and currently have no paid staff. If you are a charity professional or have specialist skills that can help the charity it would be great to hear from you.
