Fundraising for Us
At any one time we have many fundraising projects underway. We get a great deal of support from individuals who raise money on their own as well as regular donors. 'Kids Like Us' is run by a committee of volunteers who ensure every penny goes towards supporting children in our community who live with arthritis everyday. We're grateful for your ongoing support and donations to help us continue with our work.
​
​
The work we do would not be possible without the people who support us. If you would like to get involved with fundraising for us, there are any number of ways you could help. In return we promise that we will put the money you raise to good use, directly supporting children and families affected by Juvenile Arthritis.
​
We would like to thank our regular supporters:

The Limoges Trust
Mason Samaritan Fund
