At Inflammatory Arthritis UK (IAUK), we know that living with inflammatory arthritis (IA) is so much more than just joint pain. Founded by Debbie and Katy who have over 50 years of lived experience of juvenile idiopathic arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis respectively. IAUK is a patient-led charity created by people with IA, for people with IA.

Our mission is to inspire resilience, empower lives, and create a supportive community for everyone affected by IA, no matter their age or diagnosis. We are here to break down misconceptions and shine a light on the realities of living with a fluctuating chronic condition and the often overlooked commonalities of IA such as fatigue, pain, flares, and the emotional impact.

Through our weekly podcast Inflammatory! Navigating Life with IA, community support, real-life stories, and collaborative work with researchers, healthcare professionals and policy makers, we are driving change and making sure the voices of those living with IA are truly heard.

IAUK is more than a charity. It’s a movement led by people who get it. And together, we’re building a future where no one with IA feels alone.
