#WearPurpleForJIA
Purple Gunge Challenge – FREE Gunge Giveaway!
This year, we would love your School, Workplace or Healthcare Team to take on the Purple Gunge Challenge for us and Wear Purple for the 10,000+ children living with arthritis.
Who will YOU choose to be in the Gunge-Seat?! Your favourite teachers, your rheumatology team or your work colleagues?
To help children living with arthritis, all you need do is:
1. Order your FREE Purple Gunge* and Wear Purple Pack via the link below!
2. Persuade 2 (or more!) people to sit in the Gunge-Seat
3. Collect donations for each of the people online via JustGiving or in jam jars!
4. Gunge Day! – the Person with the most donations gets GUNGED on Friday 23rd May (or a day that suits you before 30th Sept 2025!)
*We have 50 FREE PACKS of purple gunge to give away and in return we ask for a minimum pledge of £100. All donations will go towards improving the lives of children living with arthirits.
Wear Purple with us on 23rd May 2025!

About #WearPurpleForJIA
NRAS have been involved with #WearPurpleForJIA since 2016, which is when Lynette Haselip, a mum whose young daughter Farah had been diagnosed with JIA, came up with the idea to make more people aware of JIA in children.
NRAS have grown and built this special campaign over the past few years. This year #WearPurpleforJIA fundraising day will be on Friday 23rd May.
We would love you to support #WearPurpleForJIA 2025. Do share your pictures and if you have any questions about paying in money or any other questions please email fundraising@nras.org.uk
