Living with adrenal insufficiency, including Addison’s disease, can be challenging and isolating. We are raising funds to deliver two community events that bring people together for expert-led education, peer support and practical guidance to help people feel safer, informed and less alone.

Adrenal insufficiency is a rare lifelong condition that requires daily management and carries the risk of a potentially life-threatening adrenal crisis. Many people feel isolated due to a lack of awareness and understanding, even within healthcare settings. Anxiety around self-management, emergencies and navigating daily life can significantly affect wellbeing. Limited resources restrict our ability to provide accessible in-person events where people can connect, learn and feel understood.
With funds raised during the Christmas Challenge, we will deliver two ‘Get-Together’ events for the adrenal insufficiency community. The events will combine healthcare professional presentations, Medical Q&A, peer discussion groups and opportunities to connect with others who truly understand the condition. Attendees will gain practical self-management knowledge, learn emergency adrenal crisis response skills and leave feeling more confident, supported and connected to a wider community.
