The Aniridia Network UK Befriending Scheme has successfully created over thirty five buddy relationships in the last two years.

We can only do this with the kindness of those of you who are willing to make contact with other families, who have members with aniridia.

Befriending is a real lifeline and can make a huge difference to those who request help.

In the last year we have had an increase in families for whom English is not their first language and it is often difficult to find buddies who can help.

We would like to find as many of you as possible who speak another language and are willing to help such a family.

If you feel you can help please contact befriending@aniridia.org.uk with details of the languages you can speak or write.
