We hope you find the information on these pages helpful. Our team is working tirelessly to provide up to date advice in relation to the COVID-19/Coronavirus pandemic. Record numbers of people are now turning to NASS for support, and we hope to be here for everyone. Our helpline and advice service are only possible thanks to donations from people like you.

For over 40 years we’ve been providing specialist support, advice and the most up-to-date information. We aim to empower everyone with axial spondyloarthritis (axial SpA) including ankylosing spondylitis (AS) to manage their treatment and to stay in control of their lives. We are driven to ensure that health professionals around the country deliver tailored and timely care to every patient, every time.
Once you get to know NASS, you realise that while axial SpA (AS) exists, our work will never be done. We simply will not rest until we reduce the current 8.5-year delay to diagnosis, and we will continue to fund research in seeking every possible way to help beat axial SpA (AS).

More than 200,000 people in the UK have axial SpA (AS) – that’s 1 in 200! So our members and supporters sit right at the very heart of NASS. Not only do our members financially support our work as well as the services and information we provide to everyone affected by axial SpA (AS), but this vast community also adds such passion and focus to what we do. We always turn to them first when we ask ourselves ‘where shall we go next’? Our members are also Trustees, driving our strategy and ensuring that we are always focused on the things that matter most.
We are working hard to dramatically increase public awareness of axial SpA (AS) going forward. Therefore, the voices of this community are going to be more essential than ever. We are so much louder and stronger together. Will you join us on that journey?
