Get involved in our research
The issues that matter most to people with arthritis should be at the heart of research. We are proud to have led the way among research charities in ensuring patients, with their diverse voices and experiences, are actively involved in all our decision making.
Our vision
People affected by arthritis are partners in everything we do so that the research we fund and support is of the highest quality, is focussed on real needs and delivers maximum benefit for everyone, now and in the future.
We will continuously improve – understanding and addressing barriers and using innovative methods to empower and involve as many people as possible from the start and across all our activities.
