Action on Pain
Action on Pain is a charity dedicated to providing support and advice to people living with chronic pain. In addition to a website and information booklets, it also has a network of support groups around the UK that meet on a regular basis, and the charity is always on the lookout for volunteers to set up more groups. It also has a dedicated, confidential and informal telephone helpline (PainLine), manned by people with chronic pain, which provides expert advice and support based around the volunteers’ own experience.
