Roofbreaker Newsgroups
Roofbreakers, Integr8_youth_zone and Caring-UK
The above are three online newsgroups to support people affected by disability. All are ‘closed’ groups - in other words, you have to be a member to both read and post messages. This means that all postings are confidential and enables people to be more open than they would be in a forum that is able to be seen by anyone.
Joining the groups couldn’t be simpler.
- Send a blank e-mail to the relevant newsgroup and await the response.
- You will be able to receive copies of all individual postings to the group direct into your email inbox as they are posted or you can opt to receive a daily summary.
- The third option is not to have the e-mails forwarded but to read the postings online.
The group for general disability issues is called Roofbreakers and that is open to any one to discuss any issue related to disability.
Integr8_youth_zone is the e-mail network for young disabled Christians. It is for ANY young disabled person who wants to share their good or bad news, ask questions about their disability or faith – wherever they are at - and ask for prayer from other young people who are in similar situations. It is for inspiring and learning from one another and encouraging others to achieve and do things through Jesus and each other.
