October is Lupus Awareness Month in the UK, which aims to raise awareness of lupus amongst the public and medical profession, and improve understanding of the impact that this autoimmune condition can have on the lives of those living with it.

Lupus UK is the only national registered charity supporting people with lupus, and we've been doing so for 35 years!

In Ireland there is currently no official registered charity for Lupus. It is only at Arthritis.ie.

A small donation can go a long way in helping us to support people with lupus. You can find a range of activities to take part in on the Lupus UK website at www.lupusuk.org.uk/lupus-awareness-month.
