Annual Appeal Week 2020
“This Is What Arthritis Looks Like” is a digital fundraising campaign that replaces our usual annual street appeal.
The campaign will centre around World Arthritis Day on 12th October.
There are more than 700,000 people in New Zealand that have arthritis, and we believe that Arthritis Affects Everyone – because if you don’t have arthritis, chances are you know someone that does.
People with arthritis face many challenges, including reduced mobility, persistent pain, and financial stress, all of which can impact mental wellbeing too.
Your donations help us provide information and advice about how to manage arthritis - this consists of pain management, nutrition, exercise, joint protection, and mental wellbeing. Your donations also enable us to advocate for improved health systems at government level for people with arthritis.

The NZ Geographic Photographer of the Year exhibition features a finalist, Nathan Secker, whose photo depicts his aunt who suffers from gout...
"Ida Ward has lived in this house since she was married, more than 70 years ago. Now 96, Ward suffers from gout in her hands, which she covers with gloves. Nathan Secker, her nephew, felt compelled to document her and her home on a recent visit. “I didn’t ask her to move or pose for the photograph. This was Ida’s world.”
