Summer Fundraising Campaign
Help us raise £25,000 in our biggest campaign so far...
Help us to support more people with autoimmune diseases by getting involved in our Wren Summer Fundraising Campaign.
Over the last 2 years, we have supported hundreds of people with autoimmune diseases cope with the distress, loneliness and isolation caused by diagnoses, and living with a long-term condition.
“I feel lonely all the time. The worst thing about autoimmune disease is the loneliness” - Wren
We've given Wrens over 1279 hours of free 1:1 listening sessions, with the help of over 50 volunteers. We know these sessions have been a lifeline.
Let’s do more
We want to keep supporting our Wrens, but also need to do more:
We are training new volunteers, to reduce waiting times and make sure less people face a devastating autoimmune diagnoses alone.
We’re making our services even more responsive and collaborating with top researchers to explore the most effective ways to help people with autoimmune conditions with their mental health and wellbeing.
And we're looking at ways to build a community, and support our Wrens, after their initial 1:1 sessions, because we know the impact of autoimmune conditions is for life.
All of this takes time, energy, compassion and money. And to do it we need investment in increasing our team of dedicated and highly-trained volunteers, in developing our group and peer support service, and in making sure there are enough people at Wren HQ to keep the charity growing and thriving. There are busy times ahead.
