Information and support is mostly done by volunteers allowing us to put the vast majority of funds into research. SarcoidosisUK has four goals: Information: Providing accurate and detailed information to people with sarcoidosis, their carers, and medical professionals. Support: We provide emotional support for people with sarcoidosis and their carers by telephone, email, via social media and at our support groups across the UK. Finding a cure: SarcoidosisUK raises funds and invests them into focused medical research that works directly to finding a cure for sarcoidosis. Awareness: We recognise the lack of understanding and awareness from both the medical profession and the general public regarding sarcoidosis. We aim to change this.
