This #SmallCharityWeek, our founder Richard shares a few words about how Juvenile Arthritis Research began and our journey over the past 8 years. As a small, agile charity, we are continually moving forward, but it's important to take a moment to reflect on just how far we have come together. #JIA

Next week, on 1st July, we will be launching something new. Can you guess what it might be?

With the current heatwave, remember to ensure that your medications are being stored properly in accordance with the instructions. Speak to your healthcare team or pharmacist for advice. Some medications can also make you more prone to sunburn so ensure you protect yourself from the sun too! #JIA

This week is #SmallCharityWeek and we wanted to share these words from Mike Zywina who works closely with small charities like ours and has a real understanding of the challenges we face. This week, if you can do one thing to support our small charity, please do it. #JIA #ThinkJIA #arthritis

Reflecting on #EULARCongress, it struck us just how lucky we are to have such an incredible team of volunteers. As a very small lived-experience charity, everything we do is driven by need in the field of JIA. Truly humbling to be part of EULAR and 13,000 others globally working in rheumatology.

Starting soon... Victoria room 2 #eular2026 Our very own Katherine will be speaking about a very special project.
