Our next Transplant Journey online meeting takes place at 6pm UK time next Thursday, 27th November.

Research and experience show that when patients - and their loved ones - meet someone who has successfully gone through a liver transplant, see how well they're doing years later, and have the opportunity to ask questions about the process, it can be both informative and deeply reassuring.

Our next Men with PBC session is next week on Wednesday 26 November at 7pm UK time.

These meetings are an opportunity to meet and chat with other men affected by PBC.

Although men are welcome at any of our meetings, we’ve responded to the need from the community to have a space just for men.

Here's what one of the attendees has said about these meetings: "By attending the monthly session with other men I don't feel alone. I look forward to chatting with others who understand."

Please be aware that there will be no Q&A this week, Thursday 20 November.

Today is International Men's Day.

Today we celebrate the positive impact men make in our families, workplaces, and communities. It is also a day that highlights the importance of recognising and addressing the challenges and experiences of men and boys and to keep the conversations going about men's mental health and wellbeing.

Additionally, it is a good time to remind ourselves that men can develop PBC and that our services are available to anyone affected by PBC. For those who would find it useful, we now run a monthly Men with PBC online meeting. These meetings are an opportunity to meet and chat with other men affected by PBC. Keep an eye on our Events page https://www.pbcfoundation.international/events/ and this social media page for information about upcoming meetings.

Today is World Kindness Day.

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference to someone's day.

This can be anything from holding the door open for someone or getting some shopping for an unwell neighbour to sending an encouraging message to a friend.

Don't forget to be kind to yourself too! Our self-care webpage is a great place to start for hints and tips: https://www.pbcfoundation.international/living-with-pbc/self-care/. We also host online self-care sessions every Tuesday evening called 'Choose Me Tuesday' at 6pm UK time - check our events page for information: https://www.pbcfoundation.international/events/

Let's sprinkle kindness throughout today and beyond 💜

We would love to hear your experiences of acts of kindness today, whether received by you or something you have done, or plan to do, for someone else ⬇️
