Volunteering

Volunteers have always been the foundation for the work and services that Arthritis Care provides.

In the North of England volunteers have built and maintain the wide network of branches and groups. They are also responsible for:

• delivering self-management programmes
• distributing information about arthritis
• campaigning
• raising awareness of arthritis

This year the fundamental role of volunteers within the organisation is to be highlighted and supported with the adaptation of standards required by ‘Investors in Volunteering’ criteria as a means of maintaining the quality of recruitment and ongoing support given to these important people.

From this basis the staff team will be involved in developing both the scope of opportunity and geographical focus of volunteering in North England.

We are always looking for new volunteers.  Perhaps you are quite persuasive and could help us fundraise or create awareness by helping to distribute information booklets.  We are active at many country shows - why not come along and help, whilst enjoying a day out at the same time.  We have a number of volunteering opportunities for fundraising, information/promotions, events support and training.
