The British Sjogrens Syndrome Association

The British Sjögren's Syndrome Association (BSSA) 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 more than 2000 members, the BSSA 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.  The BSSA 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 Syndrome and the cause is still unknown.

BSSA aims and objectives are: 

  • raise awareness of Sjögren’s Syndrome
  • educate people about the condition
  • support research into its cause and treatment
