AS a result of the letter you published about National Liver Awareness Week, the British Liver Trust has been able to help hundreds more people with liver disease.
Our information line received four times the number of calls it normally does and we sent out many hundreds of leaflets on all aspects of liver disease.
Unfortunately, your area still has no support group and we would like to encourage people who would be willing to set up a group to contact the trust on 01473 276328.
Readers may not be aware that one in every ten Britons will contract a liver or gallbladder condition during their lives, so newspapers such as yours help to raise awareness of the issue and communicate vital information to the local community.
