#Takeon25 for our 25th Anniversary! 

31 May 2026

This year we are inviting you to #Takeon25 as we celebrate 25 years of tackling rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) together.

Over the past quarter-century NRAS has made a huge difference – helping people to manage their condition, and campaigning for better healthcare and support every step of the way…. 

But we all know that there’s more to be done. RA and JIA are still relatively unknown, and too many people miss the early warning signs – leading to lasting pain and joint damage.

That’s why we need your support! You can help us to keep pushing for faster diagnosis and better treatment, so that everyone with RA and JIA can manage their conditions and live their life to the full.  

Challenge yourself to #Takeon25 and change lives!

Fun, inspiring and inclusive, we’re inviting you, your friends, family, colleagues and neighbours to take on a Foody, Sporty, Creative or Quirky challenge — anything involving the number 25. However you choose to do it, we’d love for you to get involved and help us celebrate this milestone year!

Everyone who takes part will receive an NRAS t-shirt and medal, and anyone who raises over £250 will also receive an exclusive NRAS snood!

Our goal is to raise £25,000 for our 25th birthday — and we’d love your support to help make it happen.

Need inspiration? You could spend 25 mins practicing the piano a day like Emma, learn 25 card tricks like Peter, or do 25 sit-ups a day for 25 days like Charlotte!

You’ll have from 1^st June to 18^th October — our official 25th birthday — to complete your #TakeOn25 challenge.

We can’t wait to hear the amazing #Takeon25 ideas you come up with this time!
