Arthritis is a name for a group of conditions affecting the joints. These conditions cause damage to the joints, usually resulting in pain and stiffness. Arthritis can affect many different parts of the joint and nearly every joint in the body.
Many people believe that arthritis pain and osteoporosis is an inevitable part of ageing and that nothing can be done to help.
Arthritis and Osteoporosis WA relies on support from the community to fund it’s ongoing committment to the care, education and research for people with arthritis and related conditions. We are always on the lookout for volunteers to help us sell raffle tickets or organise an event to help boost our fundraising program. Alternatively if you have a great idea for raising some vital funds for our Foundation, then why not hold your own fundraiser.
If you have some spare time and would like to help out, then we would love to hear from you! Feel free to contact Lily Lomma on 1800 011 041 or (08) 9388 2199.
We also run a multitude of initiatives throughout the year to raise funds awareness of the work we do in the community. Keep an eye on our Calendar of Events for things happening in your local area.
