New funding to support people with musculosketal conditions including arthritis

Let’s Move Together Fund: Now open!

Versus Arthritis are distributing grants of up to £5,000 to support people with musculoskeletal conditions including arthritis to get active. Organisations in Wales, Scotland or  Northern Ireland should be working to increase the availability of exercise opportunities for people with musculoskeletal conditions in local communities, to reduce the negative impact of coronavirus and the widening of the inequalities in sport and physical activity. Applications are particularly welcome from groups who also support people from lower socio-economic groups, Black, Asian and/or Minority Ethnic communities and disabled people.

 29.3% of adults in Wales have musculoskeletal conditions so we anticipate that a number of groups will be eligible. For more information about these conditions please visit About arthritis | Conditions, symptoms, treatments, support (versusarthritis.org).

 For more information about the Let’s Move Together fund, including how to apply, please visit Inspiring active communities (versusarthritis.org). If you have any questions please email physicalactivityva@versusarthritis.org.
