Bignall, T. Butt, J. & Pagarani, D. (2002) Something to do: The Development of Peer Support Groups for Young Black & Minority Ethnic Disabled People, York: Joseph Rowntree FoundationEditorial Comment:
For young disabled people of Asian, Caribbean and African origin, peer support groups provide a forum for emotional and practical support, enabling them to discuss issues around race, ethnicity and religion, and to share experiences with others from the same background.
This report, part of the Joseph Rowntree Foundation Race and Ethnicity series, explores the development of these informal support groups, including:
• The purpose of peer support groups;
• How the groups have formed;
• What they do;
• What works with the groups and why;
• What affects the growth and maintenance of such groups;
• Examples of processes, such as decision-making and planning.
