Stronger Together: Celebrating 25,000 Members in Our Facebook Peer Support Group

We have some incredible news to share with the Psoriatic Disease UK family.

This week, our official Facebook Peer Support Group reached a monumental milestone: we are now 25,000 members strong.

When we first launched this group, our goal was simple. We wanted to create a safe corner of the internet where people living with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis could talk openly without fear of judgment. We wanted to build a place where you didn't have to explain why you were tired, why your skin was flaring, or why simple tasks felt difficult today. You could just be.

To see this community grow to 25,000 people in just over a year is both humbling and inspiring.

More Than Just a Statistic

While "25,000" is a fantastic number to see on a screen, we know that for every single digit in that count, there is a real person with a real story.

That number represents 25,000 individuals who have taken the brave step to say, "I need support," or "I want to help others." It represents thousands of late-night questions answered by strangers who quickly became friends. It represents the collective wisdom of people who have navigated treatments, flares, and the emotional toll of psoriatic disease.

The Power of "Me Too"

Living with psoriatic disease can be isolating. It is easy to feel like no one in your immediate circle truly understands the physical and mental load you carry.

The true magic of this group isn't its size; it’s the power of shared experience. It’s the relief of posting about a specific symptom and having ten people comment, "Me too." It is the comfort of knowing that you are navigating this journey alongside thousands of others who genuinely get it.

Thank You for Making This Space Special

To our moderators and every single member who has ever commented, reacted, or shared their story: Thank you.
