Campaigns

Arthritis Care campaigns to make a real difference to the lives of people living with arthritis and their families right across Wales.

People with arthritis work and volunteer at every level within Arthritis Care and we know only too well that arthritis-related services and issues have traditionally not been regarded as enough of a priority by decision makers at many levels of government and in the NHS.

We understand the daily consequences of that lack of priority status in the lives of people with arthritis.

We are aware of the popular misconceptions regarding arthritis – that it only affects older people, that there is little that can be done to treat the condition or limit its impact – and we are aware of the damage caused by such mistruths.

So what is Arthritis Care doing about it?

Arthritis Care campaigns at the local, Wales, UK and EU levels to raise awareness and understanding of arthritis and for services for people with arthritis to receive appropriate prioritisation and resources.

We campaign constructively to work with and support health and social care providers to improve their services in resource-effective ways that meet the needs of local people with arthritis. Find out more about Arthritis Care’s campaigns issues.
