We are excited to announce that as of 1st January 2023, the Scoliosis Association UK (SAUK) and the British Scoliosis Research Foundation (BSRF) have merged. BSRF has, for the past 50 years, promoted and funded high-quality research into scoliosis in the UK, whilst SAUK has worked to raise awareness of scoliosis and provide support, advice, and information to people affected by scoliosis in the UK. The two charities have been affiliated since 2006, but in an effort to become one unified charity that supports both those affected by scoliosis, and the future of scoliosis research, we have made the decision to merge. The charity will operate under the name of Scoliosis Association UK for the first year of the merger, after which a new trading name will be chosen.
The people that SAUK support have always been interested and invested in seeing the understanding and treatment of scoliosis be improved. It’s in the best interest of everyone affected by scoliosis that we nurture the development of research. Our combined energy and passion will allow us to make a stronger contribution to the scoliosis community.
