We buy, and have bought, sets of pain relief equipment and other items requested by Birmingham Children's Hospital, University Hospital Coventry and New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton. These items were bought to be lent long term to children in need of their own individual equipment at home.

​

We are funding "Break Aways" for adolescents with arthritis. They enjoy a holiday in the company of people their own age but with a full team of medical carers. They have fun and hopefully begin to learn how to care for themselves. At the same time it gives families a break from being the carer. To find out more about what the young people learn from these events, watch our video below.

​

We have produced sets of child friendly leaflets to help children to understand their disease more and to give help with ways to cope. The professionals at Birmingham Children's Hospital wrote these, and the production is paid for by 'Kids Like Us'. We are now looking to share this material with other local Hospitals. Many of these leaflets are available to download below.
