A letter from our Chairman
Speaking from the experience of having rheumatoid arthritis for over 20 years and having been diagnosed at a very young age, I have found the knowledge, advice and support that we have collected within our charity to be very helpful. I hope you will too. We are here to help, please have a look around our website and get in touch with us for further guidance. Feel free to contact us, (see details in our contacts page), or come and see us at one of our events listed on our Events Itinerary, we'll make you very welcome, it's a good place to meet others with arthritis and have some fun.
Best wishes, Kim Seabrook
