£1/2 MILLION GRANT TO HELP PEOPLE WITH ARTHRITIS GET THEIR LIVES BACK Arthritis Care, the national charity helping people with all forms of arthritis, has won an award of more than £1/2 million to help people overcome the pain and disability caused by this condition. An estimated 10 million people in the UK suffer from arthritis. Says Arthritis Care CEO Judi Rhys, There is a pressing need to reach out and support people with arthritis who face tremendous pain and disability in their everyday lives. Our message is that practical support can help people get their lives back. We will be mobilising an army of volunteers, initially in the North of England, to help people with arthritis to develop the skills and confidence to manage their condition. The Arthritis Champions programme trains volunteers to help people with arthritis to provide the support that enables people to reduce the impact of their symptoms on life, work and family.
