We are always looking for help to raise the profile of RA and support those with the condition.
Our Volunteer Network is made up of volunteers throughout the UK, many of whom have rheumatoid arthritis.
Our volunteers participate in many different activities and it is up to them when, what and how they volunteer.
Volunteers can:
- give telephone support by being a part of our Telephone Support Network
- distribute information about NRAS and rheumatoid arthritis to doctors surgeries and their rheumatology unit, keep posters up to date and literature stands replenished
- set up NRAS local patient groups with the aim of empowering patient decision-making and encouraging self-help and mutual support
- create awareness of the disease through informing others and acting as media spokespeople
- participate in rheumatology service planning with local Rheumatology teams, Health Authorities, the ARMA (Arthritis and Musculoskeletal Alliance) Network and other professional bodies
- help the medical profession through participating in surveys, research and training medical personnel
- initiate local fundraising for NRAS
- further any of the charity's campaigning aims by speaking to MPs
