Way Up is a group with a positive, forward looking attitude to rebuilding lives. An online forum provides and important space for members to initiate friendships, exchange views and to give and receive care and support. Way Up also organises meet ups in person. Members organise events or outings across the UK, and the group occasionally travel together abroad. There is no formal network of local groups, however members can find other local members to arrange meeting up closer to home.
