What is Lupus

LUPUS UK is the only national registered charity supporting people with systemic lupus and discoid lupus and assisting those approaching diagnosis.

Lupus causes the body’s immune system to go into overdrive and starts to attack itself. It is believed that over 50,000 people throughout the UK suffer with Lupus of whom 90% are female. The symptoms are many and varied, and the condition often seems to mimic other diseases. This gives rise to difficulty in diagnosis and the condition can be overlooked for years, unless the GP or consultant is alert to the possibility of LUPUS.

There is NO CURE and patients are likely to remain under medical care with continuing medication. Lupus can adversely affect the lives of patients, their families, colleagues and friends.

Curry Fundraiser 22nd March 2010

Cannock’s finest indian restaurant has agreed to hold a charity night in aid of our bid to raise funds for Lupus West Midlands. On Monday 22nd March 2010 the Padma Lounge will be host to 70 diners for a buffet indian menu – English food is available upon advanced request.

Diners will be entertained by ‘Spoz‘ former Poet Laureate of Birmingham as he plays some music and dazzles us with his words of wit.

There will be a raffle held with prizes donated from local businesses as well as information on Lupus and other charity events we have organised. If anyone would like to join us for an evening of networking and entertainment not to mention the fantastic cuisine, you can purchase a ticket priced £15.00 at Thornton’s Cannock.

Tickets are now on sale for a raffle that is being held in aid of Lupus West Midlands which will be drawn on the evening.
