Story
We believe we are the first dedicated social anxiety charity in the UK and we are still in the early stages of the journey.
We are currenty entirely funded by kind donations from contributors.
While virtually everyone knows what it is like to feel self-conscious in some situations, those with social anxiety disorder suffer to an extent that can limit life opportunities and significantly affect mental and emotional health.
The anxiety experienced is often out of proportion to circumstances. It is something beyond shyness or a lack of social confidence. Feared situations are frequently so difficult that sufferers will avoid them or endure them under significant distress.
Our mission is a society in which social anxiety is widely understood, with easy access to appropriate information, support and treatment so that no one has to face social anxiety alone.
Our goals:
(1) Help those affected by Social Anxiety find the information and resources they need.
(2) Increase public awareness and empathy towards social anxiety
(3) Promote and improve access to appropriate and effective treatment
