Helping people living with arthritis now and in the future

Leaving a gift in your Will is one of the ways to show what you care deeply about. 

For many people who live with arthritis, or love someone with this condition, it’s a way to make a lasting difference for people with arthritis long after you are gone. 

Why your gift matters

There are over 850,000 adults and children with arthritis in New Zealand. 

Arthritis NZ’s services are freely available and have been for 60 years. We receive very little government funding, so we rely on the goodwill of individuals, often people who have lived with the condition themselves. 

By leaving a gift in your Will to Arthritis NZ, no matter how big or small, you will make a profound contribution to improving the lives of those who live with this complex health condition, through research, advocacy, information and support services. 

Leave a lasting legacy and help ensure no one faces arthritis alone. 

When you leave a gift in your Will you will join the special group of people – the Arthritis Legacy Circle. We will keep you informed of the work we do and how your gift will support people living with arthritis.
