Queen Elizabeth II has written to us in honour of the charity’s 80th Anniversary this year, thanking the charity and it’s supporters for the support we offer people living with arthritis across the UK.
The full letter can be read here. The private secretary to the Queen writes that Her Majesty was “impressed to learn of the range of services offered by the organisation to people living with muskuloskeletal conditions, and the support [Arthritis Action] has provided during the pandemic.” She wishes the charity a memorable and enjoyable 80th anniversary, and particularly highlights our recently launched 80 Faces campaign, which recognises and celebrates 80 key people who have helped Arthritis Action become the Charity it is today.
More information on our plans to mark our milestone anniversary, including the 80 Faces campaign, can be found on our 80th Anniversary page. This page will be updated throughout the year as more activities are announced.
