The Tyne & Wear Lupus Group is a part of the national charity LUPUS UK.
LUPUS UK is the only national charity supporting people with systemic lupus and discoid lupus and assisting those approaching diagnosis. We presently have over 5500 Members and a number of support groups around the UK, who arrange medical talks, publish local newsletters, set up local peer support groups and organise fundraising events.
LUPUS UK also produces an informative national magazine with lupus articles, letters, reports, and photographs, and operates a strong Grant Programme for research purposes and welfare.
The Tyne & Wear Lupus Group support LUPUS UK to promote awareness of lupus in our local area and local support for those with a diagnosis of lupus, and associated conditions, those on the path to diagnosis, as well as family and friends of those affected. The medical professionals provide diagnosis and treatment for lupus, but we believe the best way to learn how to manage your life when you have lupus, is to talk to other people who have learnt to live WITH lupus rather than fighting AGAINST it.
