Arthritis UK is the United Kingdom's largest charity supporting people with arthritis. It was launched as Versus Arthritis in 2018, following the legal merger of the country's two leading arthritis charities, Arthritis Research UK and Arthritis Care in 2017 and adopted its current name in 2025. Its patron is HM Queen Camilla.
According to research, 10 million people in the UK are affected by arthritis. It affects almost three in 10 men and women over the age of 55. Versus Arthritis works to help them to remain active by funding research, campaigning and providing information for patients, the public and health professionals.
