About Borderline UK

Aims and Objectives of Borderline UK

Borderline UK (BUK) was first established in 2000 and has remained committed to the same ethos ever since – first and foremost we are part of an organisation for people with personal experience of personality disorder run by people with personal experience of PD. Since then BUK has grown rapidly, broadening the scope of its work and developing well respected expertise as the leading personality disorder focused service user and carer organisation.

What We Do

Borderline UK is part of a user led organisation; the vast majority of the work we do is carried out by people with direct personal experience of personality disorder or the issues often associated with these diagnoses (i.e. service users).

How You Can Support Borderline UK

There are several ways in which you can help with the work of Borderline UK.

Our Values

Personality Disorders are controversial diagnoses and people have a range of views and feelings about it. BUK is a network for anyone affected by one or more of these diagnoses or the difficulties often associated with them.

How Borderline UK Began

Sometime in 1998, a 28 year old Yorkshire lad by the name of Dale Ashman found himself washed up in West Cumbria with a diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder, too many books, a guitar and an assortment of stationery.
