Our mission is to support people living with lupus to live full and active lives. Lupus is an autoimmune condition which disproportionately affects the global majority (Black, Asian, Hispanic, etc.).
We provide information and support via a telephone and email advice service, support groups, peer mentoring for newly diagnosed people, and specialist support and advice for young people with the condition (and their parents).
We want to raise the profile of lupus, and work with people affected by lupus, to reduce the journey time to diagnosis and to improve access to healthcare services throughout Northern Ireland.
We also deliver or partner in multi research projects and aim to increase the representation of the global majority in those projects.
Lupus UK has an active support group in Northern Ireland, which can be found on Facebook: The Lupus Northern Ireland Group.
