A support organisation for sufferers of phobias is appealing for volunteers to run self-help groups in Oxfordshire.
Triumph Over Phobia (Top UK) estimates that 10 per cent of the population suffers from a phobia, anxiety or obsessive compulsive dis- order.
The organisation offers help overcoming the fears and anxieties of people who are terrified of animals or insects, experience acute anxiety in public places, excessively wash or obsessively check that the gas is turned off or a door locked.
Top UK trains leaders to run a network of local groups throughout the country.
