Organisation: Arthritis Care

Description:
Arthritis Care works on behalf of over 230,000 people in Northern Ireland who are affected by arthritis. We provide services and support for people with all types of arthritis, their families and those who work with them. Through a wide range of services designed to improve life for everyone with arthritis, we provide support through our information services, helplines and self-management courses.

Our local branches and our campaigns lobby to change attitudes and improve services on issues ranging from health care to physical access, both at regional and local levels. People with arthritis are central to everything we do and are involved at every level of the organisation. Arthritis Care has active volunteers involved in all of our service delivery and committee structures.
