Over the years, vasculitis support organisations have been established around the world. Some are large national charities, others are small patient-led groups — but all share the same mission: to support people living with vasculitis in their own countries.

To explore support organisations beyond the UK, we recommend visiting Vasculitis International, the global umbrella network for Vasculitis Patient Advocacy Groups (VPAGs) and expert centres.
