Donate to the NASS winter appeal
We urgently need your help to ensure that we can reach the growing number of people with axial SpA, like Jamie, Geoff & Lizzie, who only have NASS to turn to for support.
Donate todayLosing a loved one is one of the hardest things anyone has to face. Finding a lasting way of remembering their life can be a great comfort.
We have several ways for you to honour the memory of your loved one while supporting our work at the same time.
Create an online tribute page devoted to the life of your loved one for their friends and family to donate to using any one of the following online services:
You can share memories, photos and videos with friends and family, and any money you raise in their name will be dedicated to them here.
Please let us know the name of the person you are remembering. You can do this after once you have chosen the amount you’d like to donate and entered your payment details.
You may wish to ask family and friends to donate at the funeral instead of giving flowers.
If you do, please ask your Funeral Director to forward the donations received to
NASS, Ground Floor, Unit 6, Cambridge Court,
210 Shepherds Bush Road,
Hammersmith,
London,

Please let us know the name of the person you are remembering and, if you are sending more than one cheque from multiple people, who you’d like us to thank.
If you are a UK tax payer, please don’t forget to add Gift Aid to your donation which can add up to 25% more to NASS at no cost to you.
Whenever you donate to us, online or over the phone, you’ll be asked if you want to add Gift Aid to your donation.

Find out more1 in 200 of the adult population in the UK have axial SpA (AS). That's twice as many as multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.
Axial SpA (AS) is a condition that affects young people. Symptoms start late teens to early twenties, with the average age of onset being 26.
The current average delay to diagnosis from when symptoms start is 8.5 years, by which irreversible damage to the spine may have occurred.
59% of people with axial SpA (AS) report experiencing mental health problems compared to 25% of those with musculoskeletal conditions overall.
