The British Sjögren's Syndrome Association (BSSA)
(now with the working name of Sjögren’s UK) was founded in 1986, as a registered charity, to raise awareness of the disease and support research into its cause and treatment. A self-help organisation with around 2300 members, the Sjögren’s UK is dedicated to providing mutual support and information to individuals affected by this disabling disease.
We have regional support groups throughout the UK whose members include sufferers and supporters who work together in helping one another cope with the day-to-day challenges of this debilitating and distressing condition. Sjögren’s UK also has a helpline, we distribute a variety of literature including an informative quarterly newsletter and we award an annual research grant. There is currently no cure for Sjögren’s and the cause is still unknown.
