Help Us Bring Comfort and Hope This Christmas

As the weather turns colder, many people living with scleroderma and Raynaud’s are facing increased pain, fatigue, and emotional strain. Cold temperatures can trigger severe Raynaud’s attacks, worsen symptoms, and make everyday life even more difficult.

This Christmas, SRUK is working to provide vital support to those affected. But we need your help to continue.

Why Your Support Matters

With your generosity this year, we’ve been able to:

  • Respond to over 230 individual enquiries, offering guidance on new diagnoses, treatment options, and emotional wellbeing.
  • Host a national conference in Cambridge, connecting patients, researchers, and healthcare professionals to share knowledge and build support.
  • Launch a major survey on Raynaud’s Phenomenon, gathering over 4,200 responses to help distinguish between primary and secondary forms.

But winter brings new challenges. People in our community are struggling with:

  • More frequent and painful flare-ups due to the cold
  • Increased feelings of isolation and anxiety
  • A greater need for reliable information and emotional support

This Christmas, You Can Make a Difference

Your donation helps us:

  • Provide expert-led support and guidance
  • Fund life-changing research
  • Create spaces for connection and understanding

Please give what you can and help us bring warmth, hope, and care to those who need it most.
