Arthritis Care is the UK's largest charity dedicated to supporting people with arthritis (registered charity nos: 206563, SC038693). It is a user led organisation which means people with arthritis are at the heart of its work – they form its membership, are involved in its activities and are well represented on its staff and board of trustees. It provides information and support on a range of issues related to living with arthritis. Arthritis Care campaigns locally and nationally to make sure people with arthritis have access to treatments and services. In the UK Arthritis currently affects almost three in ten men and women over the age of 55.
Arthritis Care has three national offices (Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales) and three regional offices in England (North England, Central England, South England). All activities are co-ordinated by an office in London.
Arthritis Care's current CEO is Judith Brodie.
Famous quotes containing the word care:
“We cannot cheat on DNA. We cannot get round photosynthesis. We cannot say I am not going to give a damn about phytoplankton. All these tiny mechanisms provide the preconditions of our planetary life. To say we do not care is to say in the most literal sense that “we choose death.””
—Barbara Ward (1914–1981)
