Why should you become a Member of NRAS? 

10 November 2023

Most of us are fully aware, that access to a good support network around you comes with countless perks. Whether it’s a sense of belonging, the power of connection or the mental health benefits, we all need social interactions to some extent. However, as we get older and people’s responsibilities shift, this can, for many of us, become a harder task to keep on top of!

At NRAS, our mission is to support everyone living with the impacts of RA or JIA and while we will continue to do so, you will gain some fantastic benefits while also supporting our cause by becoming a member. As a Member of The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society, you will receive expert information, contribute to the day-to-day funding of a wonderful charity and feel secure in the knowledge that the NRAS community is always there to support you and those close to you every step of the way.

Don’t live this alone, join us today and be part of our RA Community, together we can help you build a brighter tomorrow.


What do we offer? 

All NRAS memberships include:

  • Members E-News every month.

“I was advised to join by a nurse when I was first diagnosed and struggling. I’m glad I did as I’m unemployed, alone and have no-one to turn to for support. NRAS is helping me to understand and keep going. You are worth the fee.”
Audrey, New Member
