	Registered Charity No 207711

ANYONE can get Arthritis. YOU can help us find the cure.

What is Arthritis?

Arthritis is a collective term for diseases that cause damage to the joints. Rheumatism is a general term for any pain arising from the bones, muscles or joints. Anyone at any age, not just the older generation, can suffer from Arthritis. At present, around eight million people in the UK have some kind of Arthritis or Rheumatic disease, including one child in every thousand.

Who are ARC?

Arthritis Research Campaign is the only major medical research Charity in the UK solely dedicated to funding medical research in hospitals and medical schools to discover the cause and the cure of Arthritis and Rheumatism. Completely independent, with no support from the Government, it has to raise £16 million every year just to maintain its current level of research.

As well as research, the Charity is involved in educating the medical profession and the public in all matters relating to Arthritis and Rheumatic diseases. It publishes and distributes, free of charge, information booklets on over sixty topics to help patients understand and cope better with their arthritis.
