Shine represent people from all over England, Wales and Northern Ireland, and bring our members together through online communities.
These valuable groups give you the opportunity to make new friends, access peer support and talk to people with shared experiences as and when you need to. As well as communicating with people across your respective country, we also offer groups that will connect you with other Shine members of a similar age.
Below is a full list of groups you can join, but please note that you must be a registered member of Shine before being given access.
If you're not currently a member, you can apply to join here. Membership is completely free of charge, and will give you access to a whole host of additional benefits and resources.
Update 3 May 2021: Shine has recently amalgamated its smaller regional groups into a new 'Shine England' group. If you have any questions, please refer to our FAQ's here.
