My daughter, Saskia, was diagnosed with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis at 3 years old. It has been a challenging journey for us all, but through CCAA we have been able to build a support network, meet other families, attend weekends and local meet ups, and Saskia has met other children like her, who understand her, and who she understands too.

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a rheumatic condition affecting children and young people and can take several different forms. CCAA is a volunteer led charity run by people who have been affected by JIA and are passionate about supporting others. We have no statutory funding and have to fund raise every penny we spend. Donations help to fund all the projects and events we run across the country and of course all the family support services we operate too. Without donations we simply can't continue to support families that need our help.
