This year Arthritis Care's young persons' helpline The Source will celebrate its tenth anniversary.
The helpline service has provided support to over 3,680 parents, carers and young people with arthritis in the 10 years since its launch in June 2001. The number of contacts per year has more than doubled. The majority of individuals contact the service via The Source helpline (56%) and the rest make contact through the forum, by email or letter.
We are planning a series of events and fundraisers to celebrate on 1 June – the official anniversary.
