V-Group

Disabled women discussing their personal, sexual and intimate lives

Founder Members

The V-Group is a self-led group of disabled women around the UK who discuss their sexual relationships, body image, impairment, pain, sexual communication, acceptance and knowledge. We hold gatherings, currently in central London, and communicate via phone, letter, email and message board. Our gatherings include lunch, workshops, and sometimes expert speakers.

I really enjoyed the most recent V-Group meeting and left realising the v-group has been the first opportunity I've had to discuss issues of sex and relationships with respect to impairment with other women with impairment/disabled women (I've talked with friends and partners without impairment). I hadn't realised it was something I had been missing until now. -- Eirwen

Confidentiality

All discussions within the V-Group are confidential and members of the discussion agree on this before each meeting starts.

The V-Group secretary writes up everything that has been discussed in each meeting, so that people who can't attend, or can't always hear what is said, can read the discussions.

From discussions at our meeting, we identify problem headings, and then document the subsequent problem solving, without using any names. These write-ups are circulated to the people who took part to make sure they are happy with the wording, and their anonymity, before they go up on the website as Hand-outs. Conclusions may be updated at a later date, from contributions to the Message Board. They may also be used for papers, talks and articles.

People who come along to meetings or contribute to the message board can use initials, nick names or their real names during discussions. They can rest assured that their names will never be published unless previously agreed.
