Mission & aims
The Scoliosis Association (UK) is the only independent support group for scoliosis in the UK. It was set up in 1981 to help people affected by scoliosis. SAUK aims to:
- Provide advice, support and information to people affected by scoliosis, and their families
- Raise awareness among health professionals and the general public
We achieve these aims by:
- Running a helpline (0208 960 1166) open Monday – Friday 9.30 – 5.30
- Organising campaigns to help increase awareness of scoliosis in the general public and among health professionals
- Producing publications to help inform those with scoliosis
- Holding regional meetings at which specialists provide advice on scoliosis
- Running a membership scheme that helps people with scoliosis to keep in touch with one another, access support in their local area and keep them up-to-date with treatment developments.
