The Behcet's Syndrome Society, formed in 1983, aims to provide a contact and support system for sufferers and their families, to provide financial aid in cases of hardship caused by the syndrome, to encourage networking amongst the medical profession, and to promote research.

Membership is open to all for a small annual subscription. Subscription is waived in cases of hardship. The Society publishes leaflets and newsletters together with fact-sheets for medical professionals.

Sufferers who wish to contact each other are put in touch. The Society also advises members or their medical advisers on their nearest known centre of expertise for Behcet's syndrome, if required. In some cases the Society is able to make one-off grants where no other agency can help (a covering letter from a doctor, social worker or other appropriate referee is required in these cases).

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
