Living Well with Persistent Pain

Pain Support Jersey is a growing local charity, run by and for people living with pain. We offer practical support, friendship and encouragement. “It’s like being part of a family that truly understands.”

Persistent pain can affect anyone – friends, family and colleagues. It’s often invisible, long-lasting, and can make everyday life difficult and exhausting. It doesn’t just affect the body – it can change how people feel, how they relate to others and how they take part in everyday life. That’s why we support people emotionally, socially and physically.

We work closely with the Pain Service to provide evidence-based support. Everything we offer is designed to help people live well with pain. Our community includes people living with persistent pain, as well as family, friends, carers, healthcare professionals and supporters. Pain isn’t always visible, and being pain-aware means listening, including and understanding.

You’re very welcome to come along and try our regular activities free of charge before deciding if you’d like to join. We offer a range of weekly activities, as well as additional member sessions across the year, including movement, social and creative opportunities. We also run educational talks to help people understand pain and what they can do about it.

Connection is a big part of what we do. Even though we don’t sit around talking about pain, there’s something important about being with people who understand. Once you become a member, you can access the full range of activities we offer across the year. We also send a quarterly newsletter with updates, stories and what’s coming up, helping people stay connected even if they don’t come to everything.

Since 2009, we’ve grown from 6 to over 300 members, supporting more Islanders each year. If you’d like to find out more about our activities, membership or how to get involved, please get in touch or visit our website.
