It diminishes quality of life more than any other condition, leading often to loss of work, depression and disability.

Although there is usually no cure, people who receive the appropriate treatment, information and support can manage their condition effectively with lifechanging results.
The treasurer acts as a trustee of the charity, with additional responsibilities for overseeing the charities funds. Day to day bookkeeping is carried out in the office by the charity’s accounts clerks, using a Sage accounting package.
