Founded in 1942, Arthritis Action is the only UK charity giving hands-on, practical help to combat the pain of arthritis through self-management and lifestyle advice. We offer people with arthritis a holistic self-management approach, looking at both the physical and mental aspects of arthritis.
Arthritis Action Group
Our Nottingham Arthritis Action Group provides an opportunity to meet others living in your area with arthritis, share hints and tips and find out about Self-Management. We have speakers from relevant services, groups and support organisations. Please contact us for upcoming group dates.
During lockdown we have moved our groups online, and are running them via Zoom. Please check our website for dates and information on how to join.

mental health difficulties.
