S.M.I.L.E stands for ‘Self Motivation In Lasting Endorphins‘ which means we aim to provide guidance and support to those suffering with chronic pain. Whether this help involves participation in physical or mental activities with the intention of relieving pain and stress, or perhaps we are only here to provide a platform where members can chat to people in a similar position to themselves. We have helped people with mental issues such as anxiety, provided them with welcomed respite at a time when it was needed. Above all else we provide a platform for having a laugh with people who you share common ground with.

At S.M.I.L.E, there is no expectation to explain your pain as we are all faced with our own, creating a positive environment for all of our members, which perhaps is not found elsewhere. Through this understanding, we provide one another with compassion and empathy and above all support.
