Living Well With Arthritis Support Services

Arthritis Care offers information and support to let you take back control of your arthritis.

Our support services help you to:

• better understand your condition
• manage your pain
• access essential information and services
• make positive lifestyle changes
• feel less isolated

Through our Living Well with Arthritis support services, our trained volunteers work alongside community groups and health and social care professionals, encouraging you to take a proactive role in the physical, mental and emotional aspects of arthritis.

Services are provided through peer-to-peer support, over the phone, in groups or one-to-one.
