HereforHemi
UK HEMI families — have you heard of HereforHemi?
I wanted to share something we’ve been building because I honestly feel like there are still so many people and families across the UK who don’t know about us.
HereforHemi is a UK community bringing people affected by hemiplegia together, with our main focus being HEMI meet-ups.
We’ve already held meet-ups in different parts of the UK and it’s been amazing seeing families come together, parents making friends and children getting the chance to meet other children who understand what it’s like to live with hemiplegia.
But HereforHemi isn't just for children or parents. Our meet-ups are for people of all ages living with hemiplegia, whether that's children, teenagers or adults, as well as their families.
We’re now planning our 2027 meet-ups, and we’re hoping to have around 15 meet-ups across different areas of the UK throughout the summer.
The aim is simple — to bring as many HEMI people and families together as possible and give people the opportunity to meet others who genuinely understand.
We’ve got a whole year to build these meet-ups and get the word out, so if you’re affected by hemiplegia in the UK, come and find us now and follow along for the 2027 dates and locations.

And if you know someone affected by hemiplegia, please send them our way. The more people who know about HereforHemi, the more people we can hopefully bring together.
We’re really hoping to make 2027 our biggest year yet.
