Hi Magda,
Very interesting!
Here in Australia we have only one peer support organisation but many 
different helplines (state- and regional-based). In the near future there 
will be a national helpline run by ABA with assistance of the federal 
government. We'll be interested to see what happens in the UK. PLease keep 
us updated.
