Welcome to XR
Hello and Welcome!
You may have been motivated to join us because you've decided that you must take action now. Or maybe you want to find out more before becoming involved. Still, we know that taking that first step can be a challenge. Thank you for being here.
Within XR we acknowledge that our increasing awareness of what we're all facing can be very difficult. However for many of us, making connections with others experiencing the same thing helps hugely; we are not alone anymore. Joining in, and trying to be part of the solution, is empowering and liberating. Action brings hope!
XR is a family with lots of support available when it’s needed. You can find these resources in a number of places, but the Care and Respect page is a good place to start.
Connect With Us
Live "'Welcome to XR"XR' talks on Zoom
The talk takes place every Tuesday evening from 7-8.30pm. You're warmly invited to stay until 9pm as we allow 30 minutes for questions and discussions after the session.

We have a Telegram chat group for people new to XR where you can ask questions, make support requests and chat to other new joiners. We don't post the link publicly but you will be given it when you attend a "Welcome to XR" talk. If you would like to join it, download the Telegram app to your phone.
