Sheffield Branch

Event

We are a small friendly group offering support to anyone with arthritis.

Occasionally we have a speaker attending our meetings, the subjects vary from exercises to specialists such as Orthopaedic Surgeons and Physiotherapists. These last an hour.

The meetings are held in the city centre, making it easy to get to on public transport. The room where we hold our meetings is fully accessible via a lift.

Refreshments are offered on arrival.

Please get in touch at services@versusarthritis.org for further information.
