Arthritis Care Awareness Week is a UK based event which raises awareness about arthritis, gathers support for people with this condition, and highlights the work of Versus Arthritis, a charity which supports this event. Arthritis is a condition marked by painful inflammation and stiffness of the joints. There are many types of arthritis which can affect a person in different ways.

Versus Arthritis has, and continues to be, committed to supporting people with arthritis. This charity helps people to understand this condition, and helps to alleviate the pain, isolation and disability which arthritis can bring. As arthritis is a long term incurable condition, they also supports and teaches people how to manage their condition through a self management training program.
