CCAA is a volunteer-led charity run by people whose lives have been touched by Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). We receive no statutory funding, which means every project, event, and support service we provide is made possible through the generosity of our supporters and fundraisers.
Every pound donated goes directly towards helping children and families affected by JIA. Your support helps fund our key initiatives, including JIA Family Support Weekends, our Badge Award Scheme, and our network of local support groups where families can connect, share experiences, and support one another.
Our events offer children and their families a valuable opportunity to learn more about living with JIA, gain practical advice, build lasting friendships, and meet others who truly understand their journey—all while having fun and creating special memories together.
