Leave a gift in your will

Will people with arthritis ever be able to live without pain?

That’s the big question. Will there ever be treatments effective enough to give every person with arthritis the chance to live free from pain? That’s our goal. Everything we do is underpinned by the research we conduct into arthritis – research that the NHS is not able to carry out – but whether we get there depends in part on people like you. Because one thing’s for certain, investing in research is the only hope people with arthritis have. It’s the only way we will ever reach that goal.

We receive no government funding. So gifts in wills are absolutely vital to Arthritis Research UK, and make up 72% of our voluntary income. They allow us to invest in the careers of talented researchers and fund projects that keep the UK a world leader in the field of arthritis research.

Any amount you choose to leave will be incredibly valuable.

You don’t have to forget your family to remember Arthritis Research UK.

Leaving a gift in your will is relatively simple and could have a huge effect on the lives of people with arthritis. You don’t have to exclude family or friends either – you can put them first and still leave something towards arthritis research.
