On 1st November 2017 Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care joined together so that we can do more to help people with arthritis to live full and active lives.

Arthritis Care and Arthritis Research UK have a shared ambition to support people with arthritis to live full, active lives.

The unmet need of people with arthritis is substantial and by coming together, we will have a greater impact on the 10 million people living with the condition.

Together we will do more to change attitudes towards arthritis, provide more and better support, and research for treatments, interventions and cures. We will strengthen our collective voice, and press for change to improve the lives of those living with arthritis.

There will be a transitional period while the merged charity takes shape and some changes are likely. During this time, our services, support, care and research will be unaffected.
