People living with autoimmune disease are often cut off from their community by debilitating symptoms and unpredictable flares, many become profoundly isolated living in a body that is attacking itself. Few understand the invisible burden they carry. We are the UK's only charity dedicated to this community, bringing people together through shared lived experience, replacing hopelessness, loneliness and grief with hope for the future and connection - so people are no longer alone.

We cannot cure autoimmune disease, but nobody should face it alone. We help people move from isolated to connected, unheard to understood, hopeless to hopeful. Through specialist Listening Support – one-to-one and groups - and a thriving online community with over two million connections a year – people rediscover themselves, rebuild confidence and begin to see a future beyond diagnosis. We help people grieve the life they have lost while giving them strength, hope and confidence for the future.
