Arthritis Care Sheffield was created in 2012 to support people of Sheffield with arthritis under the principles of Arthritis Care(AC). People with arthritis are thus at the heart of our work. Our mission is to empower people to manage their arthritis so that they can take control of their lives. We aim to work together by the provision of a programme of speakers, group discussions and activities to provide support, information about arthritis and AC services and publications about arthritis.

Arthritis Care Sheffield is dedicated to reach out and support people in Sheffield with all types of arthritis. We hope to be able to run a "Pilates for Arthritis" course in 2014. We provide the opportunity for people to discuss various aspects of arthritis informally with a variety of clinicians through our annual programme of speakers.

In the spring of 2013, we run Arthritis Care's highly acclaimed "Challenging Arthritis" course after obtaining external grants to fund the course in Sheffield. The course gave us a thorough introduction to the principles of self-management in arthritis, which has had an undoubtedly positive effect on our lives.
