The Raynaud's Association was founded in 1982 and in 1990 changed the name to become the Raynaud's & Scleroderma Association because of the close link between the two conditions. The Association has the following aims:

• Improving communication between doctors and patients.
• Putting patients in touch with each other in order to exchange ideas and information.
• Offering advice and support to sufferers and their carers.
• Raising money for research and welfare projects.

The Association is involved in the following activities:

• Regional meetings are held throughout the year at venues nationwide. An annual conference is held in the autumn, in Chester.
• A helpline is available offering information and advice, for sufferers and health professionals. Information packs are sent out on request to individuals and medical institutions.
• Newsletters are issued quarterly to supporters of the Association, giving up-to-date information on research, available treatments and tips, and aids to help daily living.
• Patient Information leaflets, health professional booklets, books and DVDs are also available including: Raynaud's - Your Questions Answered, Raynaud's and Scleroderma - A Journey of Discovery and Scleroderma - The inside story.
