We've moved from our old website provider due to the high running costs. Unfortunately this means our online groups feature is no longer accessible.
Leeds ADHD is a peer-support group for anyone affected by ADHD in Leeds, UK.
We've been supporting people with ADHD through our Facebook group and monthly drop-in meetings since 2017. The chance of getting away from the idea of ADHD as a clinical or medical issue, and instead just being with people who also experience the same challenges can be transformative.
Meetings currently occur monthly on the first Thursday of each month from 6pm to 9pm at Northlight Arts Centre, 31 Potternewton Road
Meetings are drop-in, no need to book, just turn up.
We're open from 6pm with one hour of meet and greet, to give everyone a chance to get there in time, buy a coffee and a snack from the cafe and just chill. During this time, we as atendees to choose the topics that we'l discuss during the main meeting.
Between 7pm and 9pm we sit and talk through 3 or 4 topics chosen by attendees
Meetings are currently aimed at adults affected by ADHD, parents of children with ADHD are also welcome, but the meetings generally have themes around coping with Adult ADHD rather than childhood ADHD.
We are not a professional organisation, we're run by volunteers with lived experience of ADHD which we believe, when shared together, we can help each other to cope with ADHD.
You may be someone who was diagnosed years ago, or you may be just finding out that the issues you've lived with all your life may mean you have ADHD, either way, Leeds ADHD is here to support you on your journey.
For peer support online you can join our thriving Facebook group, by searching for 'Leeds ADHD' on the Facebook app or website.
For those who choose not to use Facebook, we have a group on Reddit, just look for r/LeedsADHD
You can reach us directly by email at contact@leedsadhd.com (please note that we're a very small number of volunteers, who also struggle with living with ADHD, and working full time.
