Here's a selection of some of our previous events.
Children with JIA and their siblings joined us us for a fun evening at the amazing Inflata City in Ware, Hertfordshire! This is an indoor family fun centre with a difference - they jumped, bounced, hopped and danced through the 14,500 square foot entertainment centre, as they spent time getting to know each other and connecting with other families with JIA.
This event took place in central London on 12 October 2025. See our social channels for photos and more information.
Children with JIA and their siblings enjoyed a special way to design their own T-shirts, followed by pizza in a fun and relaxed environment. As with all our events, meeting others with the same condition and making new friends was a big part of the day.
Children spent time making some incredible chocolate creations whilst parents/carers had time and space to talk and share experiences.
In this event, children created Easter Crafts, decorated with chocolates.
An event for children with JIA and their siblings, where children were able to meet and handle a wide variety of animals, including rabbits, skinny-pigs, snakes, tortoises and toads!
Led by an excellent published poet, through our online poetry workshop families created some amazing poems. You can find out more on our news page.
