The organisation formerly known as Arthritis Research Campaign (ARC) is a British medical research charity dedicated to curing arthritis.
ARC, which had been founded originally as the Empire Rheumatism Council in 1936, changed its name to Arthritis Research UK in 2010 as part of a drive to raise the profile of Arthritis research and the organisation itself. It has also reduced the potential for confusion with a plethora of other charitable groups using the 'arc' initials.

Famous quotes containing the words research and/or campaign:
“The research on gender and morality shows that women and men looked at the world through very different moral frameworks. Men tend to think in terms of “justice” or absolute “right and wrong,” while women define morality through the filter of how relationships will be affected. Given these basic differences, why would men and women suddenly agree about disciplining children?”
—Ron Taffel (20th century)
“You campaign in poetry. You govern in prose.”
—Mario Cuomo (b. 1932)
