There are still a few places left on our FREE Pain Management Programme in Newtownards!

Our courses are for anyone needing support and techniques to make everyday life a little bit easier to manage, despite the pain. We have our 6 week course which aims to help manage the many symptoms, such as pain and fatigue, caused by a long-term condition.

Our courses are delivered by trained volunteers who have their own lived experience of a long-term condition and who all attended a similar course in the past which benefited them so much, they became part of our Arthritis UK family and trained to support others.

These courses follow a weekly structure but are still relaxed enough for you to feel comfortable and confident to share your own experiences and in doing so learn from each other as well as from the evidence-based approaches offered on the course.

Invisible disabilities, also known as "non-visible" or "hidden disabilities", are conditions that are not immediately obvious to others. They might not always or ever be visible, but they touch every aspect of life, especially when facing lack of accessibility and social stigma.

This we want to remind you that we see you, we hear you, and we stand by you.

We are Versus Arthritis

On 19 September 2018 Arthritis Care and Arthritis Research UK launched a new charity to achieve more for the 10 million people living with arthritis. We are now Versus Arthritis.

Our services include: Campaigning for fair and equal access (on a par with the rest of the UK) to new drugs and treatments that can change people's lives; An award winning helpline and information service to give people support at the isloating moment of diagnosis and throughout their lives; Free pain management courses that give people the skills and techniques to combat their pain; A family and youth work service that runs activity and personal development weekends for teenagers as well as family support and days out for younger children with arthritis and their parents; A network of branches that provide social support and services in local communities.
