How your money can help

Every pound donated goes to ensuring we reach those who are distressed at a critical time. With your support, we can ensure that no one with an autoimmune disease feels isolated, lonely, depressed or suicidal.

Where your money goes

Donations are used to train volunteers and improve access to our services for the most vulnerable. As our support is remote, we can reach all communities in the UK regardless of location or mobility.

Why we need your support

Over 10% of people will be diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, with rates rising among adolescents. Many face challenges such as chronic pain, depression and anxiety. With your support, we can ensure no one faces these challenges alone.
