In recent decades, thousands of people have been through the journey of discovering their connection with Ehlers-Danlos syndromes. On average, it takes over 19 years for individuals to gain proper recognition of their condition, due to the huge range of symptoms and a lack of clinical awareness. This means an average 19 years of not living with an accurate diagnosis.

As a charity we are strongly focussed on individuals, with the goal of making a positive impression on those impacted by EDS. We provide support by actively advocating and educating the general public and medical community through national campaigns; financially supporting individual sufferers and their families through offering grants; and contributing to vital clinical research activities.
