The Lauren Currie Twilight Foundation joined forces with Anxiety UK, a leading anxiety support charity, to open a dedicated helpline for Vasculitis patients.  The helpline is open from 9.30am to 5.30pm Monday to Friday.  It is a confidential helpline that supports patients by talking over the telephone to a professional call handler who understands Vasculitis.  The Lauren Currie Twilight Foundations funds this helpline through Anxiety UK and keeps this vital service running and available for patients.  To get a referral for talk therapy with a counsellor can take up to 6 months – the LCTF Anxiety Helpline is available now, it is free and it is confidential.

When a patient is diagnosed with Vasculitis there can be heightened levels of anxiety for the patient as they come to terms of living with a longterm chronic condition.  Lack of sleep, pain, treatment and general fatigue can also bring on levels of anxiety even in patients well experienced with the disease.  Financial, relationships and work can also become strained when someone is ill and there will come a time when you need to have someone to talk to, listen, advise and guide you to coping better with your condition.

Monday 23rd Dec – 9.30am to 5pm
Tuesday 24th Dec,  Christmas Eve – 8.30am- 4pm
