The Dorset Lupus Group has members who are resident in the county of Dorset, and has members in Christchurch, Bournemouth, Dorchester, Wimbourne, Weymouth, Poole, as well as other locations across the county. We also encourage and welcome members from neighbouring groups.

Our purpose is to give a local focal point to sufferers of lupus, their friends, family and all those giving support.

We hold regular meetings and events (See Events) and publish a quarterly newsletter.

As a group we are active in fundraising, both to support local sufferers and to contribute to Lupus UK who sponsors research into the causes of and treatment of lupus in all its forms.
