Bipolar UK

Bipolar UK is the only national charity dedicated to empowering individuals and families affected by bipolar. Peer support is at the core of their work.

You can call the peer support line on: 0333 323 3880.

If you need urgent mental health support, please do not call this number. If you are in a mental health crisis and need urgent help, please call 0800 952 1181 to speak with First Response. When a First Response telephone assessment indicates a need for a face-to-face assessment, they will aim to see you within four hours. You can also find emotional and confidential support by calling Guide-Line on 08001 884 884 or chat online ​at www.mindinbradford.org.uk/chat (8am to 12am).

You can also email info@bipolaruk.org with any questions, concerns or information you need. They aim to respond within three working days, although during holidays or busier periods it may take slightly longer.

You can also register to join their eCommunity, which is a free, supportive online forum for everyone affected by bipolar.

You can also attend your local support group. See below for details.
