Our programme of activities for 2014 reflects our members' interest in obtaining information and support about living with arthritis. Our informal discussions with clinicians allow members to ask questions about arthritis and its management that they do not always feel able to ask during a clinical interaction. Members have commented on the positive experience of attending a group which allows time for socialising, learning and getting practical information.

The programme of activities allows our members to build up an extensive network of relationships which enable them to take control of their lives with information and support.

To draw more people with arthritis to seek support from our branch, thus helping more people to learn to manage disability in order to enrich their quality of life.
