SWS Cymru, Support with Scoliosis

We want to support individuals who find themselves with a confusing and distressing diagnosis of scoliosis.

We have registered ourselves as a charity to reflect the needs of people affected by scoliosis in Wales. As we have our own Welsh Government and Health is devolved service, it is important to us that we promote the guidelines set out by this government for health and wellbeing, as well as acknowledging our own language to provide a service that is relevant. We support and recommend the work carried out by the national charity, The Scoliosis Association UK (SAUK)  and indeed some of our supporters are members of SAUK, but unfortunately we were unable to secure funds to produce bilingual literature from SAUK because their own finances were limited. By being a registered charity in our own right, we seek to address these points and all funds raised will be used within Wales.

We will signpost to approved information that can be trusted and highlight where there may be differences in treatments or procedures.
