Campaigners Network

Sign up for free

Arthritis Care is developing a Campaigners Network to build on its important campaigning work to improve rights and services for people with arthritis across Wales. Despite welcome improvements in some areas, arthritis related healthcare is patchy across Wales – many parts of Wales still have a second rate service for people with arthritis with very little local provision of key services such as rheumatology.

Supporting people

The Network has been set up to support people wishing to add their voice to the call for high quality services and rights for people with arthritis.

The Network is free to join, is open to Arthritis Care members and non-members and the amount of time Network supporters put into their campaigning is entirely up to the individual.

Network supporters receive:

• a free Welcome Pack with top tips on campaigning and lots of information on how decisions are made in Wales
• a free newsletter – Campaigns Action – three times a year
• information and tips from the Policy and Campaigns team for any Network supporters wishing to start up their own campaign
• opportunity to feed their views into the Network to help shape Arthritis Care’s campaigning priorities

There will be opportunities to get involved with our media activities, opportunities to link up with other people in the same area with the same campaigning interests.

As the Network grows in Wales, we hope to be able to offer supporters the opportunity to take part in campaigns workshops and training.

For more information about the Network, please contact us on 0845 2419675 or email WalesCampaigns@Arthritiscare.org.uk
