PHOBIC Friends, formed in 1998, aims to send out newsletters every six to eight weeks to people who are housebound with agoraphobia or social phobia, both of which are very isolating conditions.

The cost of a year's membership is £2.50 which mainly covers the cost of postage and packing. However, if anyone wants to see one of our newsletters before committing themselves to join, just send a s.a.e. and you will receive one.

If you would like further information or would like to talk about the group, please write to me or call:

VIV, Phobic Friends, 65 Sandown lne, Liverpool L15 4U. Tel 0151 280 0339.
