How your money helps
You’re helping us support people coping with scoliosis now and funding groundbreaking research for the future. Our work supporting people with scoliosis means that patients aren’t left lost and alone. Our vital research is helping work towards a better understanding of the potential cause of the condition and how best to treat patients now and in the future.
Scoliosis is a difficult disorder to come to terms with at all ages. For young children it can mean multiple cast fittings and repeat surgery; adolescents may have to wear a brace or have spinal fusion at a time of life when such a diagnosis can have a major blow to self confidence; and in mature years pain and immobility can be devastating, causing a major impact to a person’s quality of life. Read personal accounts from people who are affected by scoliosis to see what benefit your money can have.
The work done by the Scoliosis Association (UK) and the British Scoliosis Research Foundation is vital to ensure that people have a support network, and that there is hope of finding a cause and a potential cure, so that future generations are not affected by curvature of the spine. Information about all the research that we fund can be found on the BSRF research portal.
Whether you raise £50 or £50,000, you’re helping to fund our essential work. Take a look at some of the fantastic events that we have on offer and feel free to contact the SCF team to get more information and to find a way to raise funds that suits you.
