We aim to provide information and support for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), their families, friends and carers, as well as health professionals with an interest in RA. There are many ways in which NRAS can help, from being a friendly voice on the end of the phone, to campaigning to get your views heard. NRAS also runs a freephone helpline, provides information through publications and runs NRAS Groups around the UK.
