People with long-term conditions, such as arthritis, spend less than 1% of their time with a healthcare professional and as such are expected to manage the condition themselves for most of their lives.

This is where we come in.

Arthritis Action helps people manage the physical and mental symptoms of living with arthritis through our self-management approach. Our supporter Chris, said:

"I believe arthritis is very underrepresented, yet affects people in every aspect of their daily life. My step father-in-law has quite severe arthritis, yet pulls through and still takes himself off to work every single day, by managing his symptoms. I've chosen to run for Arthritis Action, a charity that promotes self-management techniques, and educates people on how to look after themselves."

£20 can help someone receive dietary support and advice, to manage their arthritis symptoms.

£60 will enable two people with arthritis to receive physiotherapy treatment.

£120 will help us build more online resources to help people with arthritis.

It is thanks to people like you that we are able to help those living with arthritis. Thank you!
