Mast Cell Action is delighted to share our online community groups. These groups are hosted by volunteers who have MCAS or care for someone with MCAS.

Join us every Thursday 7pm - 8.30pm for this virtual event.

We have graded this event as using three spoons of energy. 

The sessions are hosted by Kay, Lydia and Alice, who are Mast Cell Action Community Champions and our Community Engagement Coordinator, Charise 

Our weekly, informal meetings are an opportunity for people living with MCAS to connect with others, share stories and experiences and seek support from each other.

We will be running this session virtually through zoom, you are welcome to attend with your microphone and camera off if you feel more comfortable doing so - although you may benefit from being more interactively involved during the session.

Please note: We will be taking a register so if there are a large number of participants, it may take a while – please be patient if you are in the waiting room. It will make the process of admitting people and taking the register much quicker if you could change your name before joining, to the name you used when booking. You can access a step by step on how to change your name here.

Please book your ticket before 1pm on the day of the event otherwise your booking will be invalid for that day. We will email the Zoom link to join 1 hour before the session start time. 

Please book a place for everyone who will be attending online, even if you'll be attending using the same device. This helps us keep the event running smoothly and safely, and also helps us to decide what kind of events to organise in the future.

We will email out the Zoom link to join the session prior to the session. Please check your junk folder if you can't find the link. 

Your support means the world to us! As we strive to keep our virtual sessions accessible to all, your donations enable us to keep the lights on, and the virtual doors wide open for everyone eager to learn, connect, and grow with us. Every contribution, big or small, fuels our mission to deliver quality content and engage with our community in meaningful ways. If you are able to donate, please do give what you can.

Together, let's continue to nurture a space for our community. Your support paves the way for brighter futures for those living with MCAS.

Currently these sessions are only open to those living in the UK. This is because the health system is different in other countries along with access to medications and foods. We hope to be able to host further support groups for non-UK residents in the future. Please get in touch if you would like to support this.

Please contact events@mastcellaction.org with any questions.

Attendance is free, although donations are much appreciated as this helps us to keep the lights on and to keep delivering essential support and services for people living with MCAS. If you are able to do so, there is an option to make a donation, when booking your spot.

Places are limited, so please do let us know if you change your mind or your plans change so we can offer the spot to someone else.
