Hello everyone.

A hale & hearty welcome to you all, new and old members alike.
After much deliberation we have decided to register as a charity, The paperwork has already been received and will hopefully be filled in and ready to send off to Charities house soon.

Before we can register we need to raise £1000 (Don't panic were not asking you for the money directly, But If you have any fundraising ideas or can host an event i.e. coffee morning, sponsored swim / walk please Post in the fundraising section of the forum or PM on of the admin team .

One of our aims is to be in a position to supply those small articles that are needed but are out of the reach of many pockets, i.e. tens machines, kettle tippers, the sort of items that would help to make day to day living easier.

Also to keep up to date on information dealing with Ankylosing Spondylitis and to ensure that you, our members, have the necessary information available so you can hopefully receive the best treatment possible.

If you think you can help with the day to day running of the site, please put your name forward to any of the Admin Team.

If you have an idea's for the site e.g. new rooms, facilities, etc please tell us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.

With YOUR help we WILL make this the BEST AS support site available.
