Branch network of voluntary support groups in a community

What Our Branches Do

The Arthritis Ireland local branch network offers a range of vital services for all people with arthritis in the community. They meet on a regular basis and are run by elected voluntary committees. Our branch volunteers provide practical information and support services, which include:

  • Peer support
  • Information and educational events
  • Arthritis support groups
  • An opportunity to campaign on arthritis-related issues
  • Fundraising for support programmes at local and national level

You can make a difference by volunteering or financially supporting the work of the Arthritis Ireland.                                

How can I join my local branch and make a real difference?

 

It couldn’t be easier. Just contact your local branch representative by clicking here or call Arthritis Ireland on 01 661 8188 to speak to Janice Ransom, the National Branch Development Officer. 

If there is no branch in your area or near to you, why not consider joining together with other volunteers from your community to establish a branch for your area. We will provide you with all the information and support needed to get a new branch off the ground.
