The
CCAA is a registered charity and provides a Support Network for children
with arthritis and their families We aim to give practical help and
support through our Network and Area Family Contacts, and to provide
various educational and recreational opportunities for the children with JIA and their
families. We aim to achieve this is a variety of ways:
|
|
 |
Regular
newsletter, including information about the charity, various events
and many aspects about JIA, e.g. suggested treatments, information
about drugs, etc. |
|
Active support network. This is led by parents for parents in
whatever way they wish. In some areas it is telephone contact, some
areas meet regularly and some areas arrange trips for the children and
fund-raising events. |
|
Yearly
family weekend to provide information, advice and support to the whole
family, as well as a great deal of fun.
|
| Increase
general awareness of
JIA,
e.g. fund-raising events, promotional items and various
conferences.
|
|
Outings
for the children with JIA. |
|
Many
new projects developing concerning educational and social support. |
|
The
executive committee has a representation of parents and professionals,
and due to that we feel there is a two-way sharing of knowledge and
ideas which is of benefit to everyone. The charity a run purely on a
voluntary basis, and our membership is open to anyone, and except for
small administration costs al money goes to our various protects.
