Rachel
Hi, I'm Rachel, group leader for the Nottingham support group. I was diagnosed with endometriosis in November 2018 following a laparoscopy and my journey through diagnosis made me feel very strongly that peer support for sufferers of endometriosis is incredibly important so when I found out that there wasn't an active group in Nottingham I decided to apply to be a volunteer with Endometriosis UK and start one.
A little about me. I live and work in Nottingham city and live alone with a very elderly cat. I have 2 grown up children and a 2 year old grandson (who is obviously the most wonderful child to ever walk the earth!) I have a lovely partner who has been, and continues to be, wonderfully supportive about my illness - we don't live together and I suspect that this is why we still like each other after several years together! I love live music and festivals so spend as much time as possible during the summer months dancing barefoot in fields. I also dabble a little in stand up comedy and perform a few times a year at small festivals and fundraiser gigs.
I'm very excited to be starting a new support group and am looking forward to meeting people at the upcoming meetings.
Entry to the group meetings is through the visitors entrance at Asda, not the store entrance. The door is to the side of the store where there is a buzzer to gain entry. If unsure please ask at customer services for directions. There is a tram stop nearby and plentiful parking available in Asda car park.
