We are fundraisers, programme managers, volunteers, administrators, editors and accountants all doing everything we can to push back against arthritis. Together, we ll continue to develop breakthrough treatments, campaign relentlessly for arthritis to be seen as a priority and support each other whenever we need it. Together, we re making real progress. But there s still a long way to go, and we won t stop until no-one has to tolerate living with the pain, fatigue and isolation of arthritis. It is a hugely exciting time for Involvement at Versus Arthritis. As a newly merged charity, we are bringing together Arthritis Research UK s reputation for pioneering, innovative ways to involve patients across the research cycle and Arthritis Care s expertise in working in partnership with people with lived experience of arthritis at scale, largely through a growing network of branches and peer-support groups. Our ambition through our involvement and volunteering plan is to join up this expertise across the charity to provide a seamless experience for those who wish to become involved with Versus Arthritis and to make a big impact by working together. The charity s new purpose and strategic focus puts people with arthritis at the centre of activity across the Research Directorate. The Research Liaison and Evaluation team oversees the involvement of people with arthritis in research at Versus Arthritis. We have achieved a lot by involving people with arthritis in a wide range of activities across the research cycle from helping to scope research questions, to awarding grants and disseminating results, working in partnership with the charity and our research communities and partners. Our ambition is that every person with arthritis has the opportunity to participate in, engage with or shape research that could affect them.
