Community Outreach
The Breakaway (or Independence break) is a 4 day break held during August each year, at a Youth Hostel, for young people with Arthritis and Rheumatic diseases.
It is organised and run by staff from the Rheumatology dept at Birmingham Childrens Hospital.
Aims are to:
- promote independent living skills
- promote self confidence and improve self esteem levels
- provide social, stimulating and fun environment away from home
- to develop peer support groups
The break is funded by Kids Like Us (In 2016 this was £3812)
