Corporate Supporters Annual Corporate Membership The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS) is the only patient-led organisation in the UK specialising in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). Due to its targeted focus on RA and JIA, NRAS provides truly expert and wide-ranging services to support, educate and campaign for people living with these complex autoimmune conditions, their families and the health professionals who treat them. Our vision is: A future where everyone with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) can thrive, with the underpinning purpose: To inform and support people with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and campaign for improvements to care and treatments. We will achieve our vision by focusing on these four main areas of work: Informing and Educating Supporting and Empowering Campaigning and Researching Raising funds and building a resilient organisation Underpinning all four key areas of work, are the following goals: To greatly increase awareness and understanding of RA and JIA and the number of people receiving help from our services. To support more people to safely self-manage their health by improving the relevancy, accessibility, visibility and reach of our services. To support research and campaign to improve access to high quality care and treatments. To build a strong organisation that raises more money from diverse sources to meet people’s needs. NRAS Corporate Members are very important to the charity in both raising awareness of these diseases and the work we do, as well as contributing to the funding of our work.
