Lyme Disease UK exists to support those who are suffering from Lyme disease as well as their loved ones and people who wish to learn more about the illness, including prevention methods. Lyme Disease UK also strives to raise awareness through national campaigning to prevent tick bites and to alert the general public about the dangers of the illness and what to do if bitten. Lyme Disease UK will continue to take part in government processes as a stakeholder, including pushing for change and improvements in the way Lyme disease is treated in the UK.
