Welcome!

Arthritis Care’s virtual group for Scotland: bringing people with arthritis together to share their experiences, knowledge and support.

Welcome to Arthritis Care virtual group: Scotland
This 6-month pilot scheme is aimed at bringing together people with arthritis.
Arthritis Care (AC) has a network of support groups across Scotland and the rest of the UK, which offer support and information to those living with arthritis.
As part of this trial, AC in Scotland is offering you the chance to take part in this exciting new development – online groups.

Getting involved
By submitting your details to AC, you will receive a free 12-month membership (normally £14) and be able to join this brilliant new project. Your experiences whilst using the site will be invaluable to us, and will enable us to make future improvements.
Please note that free memberships are limited, so contact us as soon as possible.

Please send your name and address details to: members@arthritiscare.org.uk with the subject: VG Scotland.

Membership benefits include:
• CD WOW: 5% discount on all purchases
• Accessible Travel & Leisure: discounted prices on holidays worldwide
• InterContinental Hotel Group: 25% discount on weekend breaks at hundreds of hotels across the UK, Europe, Africa and the Middle East
• MedicAlert: reduced membership for the first year
• Arthritis News: annual subscription to our award-winning magazine
• Scottish newsletter ‘Outlook’
• the ability to vote and make a real difference at our AGM.

Existing members
If you are an existing AC member, based in Scotland, you can register and become involved straight away.

How it works
This online group will operate in much the same way as our other groups by providing:

• a focal point for discussion
• help and information to our members, in order to help them better understand their condition and improve their quality of life.

Fantastic features offered by the group include the ability to set up your own profile page, participate in live online discussions, and also share your stories with other members.

We aim to continue to develop the group over the coming months, and hope that you will enjoy being involved in this great new initiative.
