Arthritis Action Groups are a place for people living with, or caring for people living with arthritis to get together and share tips, tricks and experiences about their condition.
Our Groups are held online over Zoom and facilitated by a member of staff to keep things on track, and make sure that everyone has the best experience possible.
Each month we cover a different topic so you will have lots of time slots and dates to pick from, ensuring you don’t miss out on what is being discussed. And if the topics aren’t for you, we offer social online Coffee Mornings and Afternoon Teas where you can chat and get to know each other, without a set theme.
You can find all upcoming dates and book to attend via our Events Calendar
If you have any other questions about joining our Groups please email us at events@arthritisaction.org.uk.
What Our Group Members Say
“The Zoom chats are a great way to open up about your own problems and to meet many other members who are far worse off than me! The staff who run these meetings are sympathetic, caring and supportive and always ready to have a laugh – but listen as well.”
Gill
“As well as being a great source of information I have found it beneficial to spend time with others in the same boat. We understand what it feels like to have Arthritis, you don’t have to explain or put on a brave face, just be yourself. We very much share the ups and good days as well as the downs and I always leave the meeting feeling better, more hopeful, more joyful and with the motivation to move forward.”
Lorraine
Arthritis & Me Online Group
Our Arthritis and Me Online Group aimed at younger adults aged 18-40 who live with arthritis. This group discusses topics such as relationships, parenting and working, These regular monthly sessions offer the opportunity to those who have been diagnosed at a younger age, to share experiences relevant to their everyday lives while managing arthritis.
“ When I attended my first meeting I was reminded that it’s ok to ask for help, most people enjoy being needed and like to be helpful. It was just the advice I needed. I am still thankful to the lady who said those words”.
Sophie – Volunteer Group Leader
