We offer 3 different peer support groups to help local people to live well with persistent pain.
Our friendly group can provide support, advice and ideas for managing pain. Recent topics have included:
- Pacing yourself
- Priorities and planning
- Setting goals
- Medication
In 2025, we collaborated with Sheffield Mind to offer art for wellbeing sessions as part of the Persistent Pain Group. Each month, we were joined by a member of the Sheffield Mind team, who will support the group to participate in art activities to help them live well with pain and manage their mental wellbeing.
The group sometimes has guest speakers to cover relevant topics, such as Manasi Peters, the Physiotherapy Supervisor at the local Primary Care Network.

We also now run 2 Persistent Pain Support Groups with language support for specific groups of people:
