A SUPPORT group for those suffering from Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (EDS) has now launched in Bridport.

Bridport Dazzle’s EDS support group has been set up by Chloe Evans-Lippett and met for the first time at the Chapel in the Garden on March 11.

She was supported by her husband, Tony, and welcomed people with the disease or those with a family member they thought had the disease.

The group was able to share information and their experiences of the disease.

EDS are conditions that affect the connective tissue that provide support in skin, tendons, ligaments, blood vessels, internal organs and bones and can cause an increased range of joint movement, stretchy skin or fragile skin that breaks or bruises easily.

The group will meet next on April 8 from 11am to 12.30pm at the Chapel in the Garden.
