Support Groups


Positive East provides a wide range of social and support groups for a variety of different communities. For all of our groups, we suggest that you come along for an introductory informal chat before attending your first group.


Positive East - Christmas & New Year

Positive East will be closing mid-day on 24th December and re-opening on Monday 4th January 2010.

H1N1 (Swine) Flu and HIV

For current information on H1N1 (Swine flu) visit:
* NHS Choices - latest on H1N1 (swine) flu - link for latest NHS information
* For general information 0800 1 513 513 (NHS)

Prevention: There is currently no vaccine against the human form of swine flu that is causing infections. Prevention therefore relies on routine control procedures for flu. These include:

  • Using a tissue to cover the mouth and nose when sneezing and coughing. This should then be disposed correctly.
  • Frequent hand washing
  • Staying home if ill (except to see medical support)

We would request that you consider the wellbeing of our fellow clients, if feeling unwell not to come in to the Centre and avoid unnecessary social contact in crowded places.

While we will keep this page updated as new information becomes available.
