Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA), an autoimmune condition affecting children of any age, prompted Richard Beesley to establish the charity five years ago, driven by personal connections to the condition within his own family. Recognising the need for both a cure and comprehensive support, the charity collaborated with parents, medical professionals, teachers, and schools to develop resources aiding families upon a JIA diagnosis.
