Happy New Year!

New updates coming soon

2011 was a very active year for World Arthritis Day!

We launched ‘Move to Improve’, our new theme for 2011/2012, created a World Arthritis Day logo to use in your campaigns, and developed a new look website with information, resources and activities. The new site attracted over 19,000 visitors between June and December and there were over 8,600 clicks in support of World Arthritis Day.

In 2012 we will be encouraging everyone around the world to join an event involving some kind of physical activity on Friday, 12 October.  We will be providing a guide with ideas and tips for holding an event.  Whether you can organise a small group doing some physical activities together or a big national event, please join in so together we can Move to Improve on World Arthritis Day 2012!

Please keep visiting this website to find new resources, ideas and activities.

Wishing you all a very Happy and Active New Year,

The EULAR World Arthritis Day team
