The story of NCPS
In October 2017 - NCPS relaunches the A way with pain charity meetings. Holding meetings all over Northants in the afternoons and Evenings.
In April 2019 - Kat joined me in the running of Social Media of NCPS (Unfortunately Kat has had to step back due to her own health commitments)
In July 2019 - We started holding a weekly meeting in Kettering town center.
In Jan 2020 - We launched our online meetings so that anyone in Northants could join us via zoom twice a week.
In July 2021 - We started preparations to become a Community Interest Company (CIC), We are not for profit so every penny we are given goes back into running the service, reaching more people and improving the quality of support that is out there in Northants for the chronic Pain community.
In October 2021 - We were approached by the local social prescribing team to join them in improving the lives of people with long-term conditions. We are now taking referrals from SPLW, See the below link for more information about their service.
In December 2021 - NCPS went from an I to a team, I have 3 other people who have experienced the life-changing effects of attending a peer support group run by NCPS who are now giving something back, They are helping me run the interactive Facebook Group which has over 600 Members.
January 2023 - Our founder became self employed in order to extend the amount of support we can offer around the county. We now run social peer support, pain skills courses and offer a 1-2-1 service.
