Our CES Buddy peer support service offers people affected CES direct support from somebody who has first-hand experience of what it is really like to live with and adjust to a new life after diagnosis.
We want you to know you are not alone and our CES Buddies are here to help. They can advise you about how to access support within the NHS and answer the many CES questions you may have.
They can support you regularly via email or phone. If you would like to speak to one of our Buddies please ring our Helpline or email Gail ([email protected])
