Lynch Syndrome UK (LSUK) aims to ensure that for the public benefit, people and their families affected by Lynch Syndrome are provided with support in the form of information, signposting and listening, also to increase public awareness of the syndrome, educating members of the general public and healthcare professionals.
Lynch syndrome is a genetic condition that significantly increases the risk of developing various types of cancer, particularly colorectal and endometrial cancers.
LSUK was founded in early 2014 by a group of people that met on a social media support group originally set up by the late Janet Norridge. Being frustrated by the lack of information and stories of erratic screening regimes throughout the UK, we came together to change things for people with LS and their families for the better.
Lynch Syndrome UK is an all-volunteer organisation and is founded and governed by Lynch Syndrome survivors and their families. The charity is dedicated toward protecting families and saving the lives of those at high risk for a hereditary genetic predisposition to various cancers which often strike at an early age.
If diagnosed early, we believe Lynch Syndrome survivors have positive outcomes that enhance survival, longevity, and quality of life, as well as the emotional well-being of those of us who are affected by Lynch Syndrome.
