This March, join an amazing community of knitters taking on the Versus Arthritis Knitting Challenge.
Over 10 million people in the UK have arthritis. That’s one in six people living with the pain, fatigue, and restricted movement it can cause, with many more remaining undiagnosed, untreated and unsupported.
The impact of arthritis can be huge, affecting the ability to work, care for family, move free from pain, and live independently. Far too little is done for a condition affecting so many across all ages, but Versus Arthritis want to change this.
The March Knitting Challenge is a fundraising challenge where you can set your own target for what or how much to knit in March.
All fundraising will support people with arthritis, by helping to fund life-changing research, important campaigns, and vital support services. By coming together, we are making lives unimaginably better.
£18 could help us answer a call to our helpline and give free one-to-one support and information to someone in pain
£27 could help fund use of specialist equipment for an hour, so researchers can study the root cause of arthritis pain.
£100 helps provide a lab with necessary supplies needed to study the causes of arthritis and develop better treatments.
You can join our community knitters over in our Facebook group.
