Welcome to Anxiety UK

Striving to make the despair caused by anxiety, a thing of the past

At Anxiety UK, we’re not just a charity – we’re a team of four dedicated individuals, driven by our own lived experience of anxiety to help others. 

Backed by a committed team of passionate volunteers dedicated to our mission, we understand the challenges you face because we’ve experienced them ourselves.

Our aim is simple: to make the despair caused by anxiety, a thing of the past.

Founded in 1970 by Katharine and Harold Fisher from their home in Manchester, our charity was born from Katharine’s personal experience of agoraphobia. The Fishers’ vision was to create a community of support for those struggling with anxiety – a vision we continue to carry forward today.

We are an entirely self-sufficient organisation and receive no grants or funding from any public body; relying wholly on the support and generosity of our members, supporters and fundraisers – driven by a shared commitment to support those with anxiety.

 

Whatever you’re facing with anxiety, we’re ‘here for you’

 

We deliver a wide range of services and activities including:
