Over 10 million adults, young people and children in the UK live with arthritis.
That's one in six of us living with the pain, fatigue, disability, mental and financial strain it can cause. Many more live with arthritis but remain undiagnosed, untreated and unsupported.
The impact of arthritis can be huge, affecting the ability to work, care for family, move free from pain and live independently. Yet for a condition affecting so many, it's majorly understood or dismissed as an inevitable part of ageing, and far too little is done. At Arthritis UK, we don't think this is OK.
Together, we can ensure that everyone with arthritis has access to the treatments and support they need to live the life they choose, with real hope of a cure in the future.
Sign our petition and join thousands of others who believe that arthritis must be taken more seriously by government, and society.
