Scleroderma is a complex, little-known and often poorly-understood condition, that affects different people in different ways. There are currently around 19,000 people in the UK who are living with scleroderma, with 1,300 people newly diagnosed every year.  SRUK provide support and information through our online programme of support, our printed publications, the Helpline and our annual conference.  We encourage conversations, ask questions and advocate on your behalf. 

We are the only UK charity funding essential scientific research into scleroderma and Raynaud’s to improve diagnosis, treatments and quality of life.  Our goal is to improve the lives of everyone within our community and ultimately to find a cure. Our research strategy guides the projects we fund and ensures everything we do is shaped by what is best for our community.  Find out more here
