Join Our Online Membership Group

For an annual membership fee of just £15.00, members will have full access to the Adult Dyslexia Support Membership Group video conference and resources.

Your support enables us to continue to provide a range of projects throughout the year and vital information through our website, social media channels and a support group for anyone who may have been recently diagnosed with dyslexia or who may be struggling at work or higher-level education.

 

London Adult Dyslexia Support Group

The support group has been meeting monthly for almost 25 years. It was set up and is still independently run by Eileen Harwood. Eileen’s intention was to create a safe place for adults with dyslexia to share their experiences of living with dyslexia but also to provide a supportive environment for all those who are looking for help and guidance from the community. There are sometimes guests or speakers who will attend. 

The group meets on the second Tuesday of every month at St James Church, in Piccadilly. No prior registration is required. Anyone who believes they would benefit from the meeting is welcome to join. If you have any queries or would like to be a guest speaker at one of the meetings please contact Eileen Harwood directly or email us at info@dyslexialondon.org
