Online Groups Provide a Place for All - Arthritis Action

Online Groups Provide a Place for All

25 June 2025

 

We are pleased to introduce a new Group for younger individuals, aged 18-40, led by Arthritis Action Volunteer Sophie Krank. Our new Group ‘Arthritis & Me’ will launch on the 9th of July, 6pm and will take place virtually.

 

These regular monthly sessions will offer the opportunity to those who have been diagnosed at a younger age, to share experiences relevant to their everyday lives while managing arthritis.

 

Explaining why she has volunteered to take over running of the Groups, Sophie said:

 

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.”

 

To take part in a session, visit our Events Calendar and sign up to receive the joining link.
