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:
“Still, I am prepared for this voyage, and for anything else you may care to mention.
Not that I am not afraid, but there is very little time left.
You have probably made travel arrangements, and know the feeling.
Suddenly, one morning, the little train arrives in the station, but oh, so big
It is! Much bigger and faster than anyone told you.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
