Help us set up Recovering Confidence After Scoliosis surgery (RCASs)
Our mission is to increase the confidence and contribute to an improved quality of life for young people who have had surgery for scoliosis. We have already started brightening the lives of young people in hospital, but to register as a charity and start making a bigger impact on people’s lives. we must raise more funds. Please help us.
Scoliosis is a condition where the spine abnormally curves. It affects people of all backgrounds,
and it has not yet been discovered what the cause of scoliosis is.
Our organisation specialises in young people who have been surgically treated for Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis. Often shorthanded to AIS. This type of scoliosis (AIS) generally appears in tween and teenage years, and is especially common in girls. It is often spotted long after it has developed and doctors do not know what causes it.
Luckily, some people that have surgery, bounce back into normal life with minimal problems. However, on the other end of the spectrum, there are a lot of struggles. Many young people who have had surgery who are otherwise healthy and recovered, have lost confidence in themselves. This has had detrimental impacts on themselves, their families, and their futures.
Nothing exists to help people post-surgery to help with extra accommodations, to help them do something they thought they wouldn’t be able to do physically or mentally, that is challenging and provides a sense of achievement and happiness. There is currently no organised ambassadorship to show these young people that the future is bright and no funding to help this happen.
Our long-term aims include funding activities to achieve our goal, providing equipment to help after surgery and bridge the gap that the NHS is unable to bridge, by providing funding for professionals such as physiotherapists and counselling for those that need it.
At RCASs, we want to help ‘put them back on the same level as their peers’, of which they have been disadvantaged. With the right encouragement, support and modelling in order to ‘get back into things’ they would thrive and be more successful. We also wish to help any young person with skeletal problems due to medical conditions, not limited to, but specialising in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.

There is no ‘set amount’ that is required for a charitable venture such as this, however the more that is raised, the more people that can be helped and in the longer term. We can’t meet our goals without people like you.
