The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) is the UK’s leading charity representing and supporting half a million adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and children and young people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

Our vision is a future where everyone with RA and JIA can thrive with an underpinning mission to:

inform and educate, being the first choice for reliable information,
support and empower all to have a voice and take control of their RA or JIA,
campaign and research for better healthcare provision, and
raise funds and build a resilient organisation to future-proof our support.

We receive no government or NHS funding, so we are grateful for your incredible fundraising efforts to sustain our services and help change the lives of all those with RA and JIA in the UK.
