Our history
Scleroderma & Raynaud’s UK (SRUK) was launched on 31st March 2016 following the merger of the Raynaud’s & Scleroderma Association (RSA) and the Scleroderma Society.
The Raynaud’s and Scleroderma Association (RSA) and the Scleroderma Society both had a rich history of providing excellent support services to the community and investing in research to improve knowledge and understanding of these conditions.
The legacy that these charities have built stand proudly as the backbone to Scleroderma & Raynaud’s UK (SRUK) today.
By bringing the support, expertise and passion of the two organisations together, we have a strong new organisation focused on supporting people with Scleroderma and Raynaud’s.
