1 in 6 people are living with arthritis.

Add your name and join our community if you believe arthritis must be taken seriously.

Every month, around 30,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with osteoarthritis, the most common form of arthritis, and over 2,000 people are diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis. Many more live with arthritis but remain undiagnosed, untreated and unsupported.

Some may be living with constant pain and fatigue, making daily tasks such as going to work, spending time with family or simply leaving the house difficult. This can take an extreme toll on both physical and mental health.

Despite this, arthritis is often dismissed, misunderstood, or shrugged off as 'just a bit of arthritis'. We don't think that this is OK.
