Corporate Partnerships - Arthritis Action

Corporate Partnerships

Every year, over 10 million people in the UK live with arthritis, including many of them in the workforce, juggling work, family and day-to-day life. At Arthritis Action we believe employers can play a pivotal role in supporting staff affected by arthritis or other musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions; helping improve their wellbeing, inclusion and long term quality of life.

Last year we supported 12,000 people through our self management programmes, clinical appointments, exercise and nutrition support, webinars and online groups giving individuals practical tools to manage their pain, stay active and maintain their independence.

A corporate partnership is a simple, effective way to show your employees you are committed to their health and wellbeing while creating a supportive, inclusive workplace culture for everyone.

If you would like to collaborate we’d be happy to tailor to your staff and organisational needs.

We have a dedicated team of health and wellbeing experts available to give presentations to your staff on topics including healthy eating, exercise, pain management, prevention, and mental wellbeing. The presentations last about 35 minutes followed by a question and answer session – please note we are unable to offer medical advice. The presentations can be held in-person or online.

Staff Fundraising

We can support you to host your own events, whether that’s a bake sale, a pub quiz, an auction or taking part in a fundraising event. We can give you ideas and resources to organise successful and fun events.

Give As you Earn:

Payroll giving allows employees to give to Arthritis Action directly from their pay before tax. It is a quick and easy way to regularly support us. We can support you or your HR department to set up and promote a successful scheme.

Work and Arthritis
