Affiliations and accreditations
At Juvenile Arthritis Research we know how important it is to work together collaboratively. We can achieve so much more by working together than in isolation. And we also know that there are some amazing organisations and networks out there to help support us as a charity, and to enable us to be more effective.
There are many different groups, networks and organisations that charities can affiliate themselves with. Of course, some are better than others and some are more effective than others. We are careful which networks we join, and only link with those that add real value to the people we exist for - children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and their families. Any affiliation has to help us be more effective in our research, awareness and support work as well as policy-making and lobbying activities that take place behind the scenes. Every penny donated to us makes a real difference, so we won't join networks just for the sake of it. Whilst many are free to join, membership of certain networks costs money that we believe could be better spent supporting children and their families.
This page lists the organisations and networks we are part of and the reasons why.
