The Ferndown Branch of Arthritis Care is hosting an Arthritis Awareness Day on Wednesday 10th May in support of the National Arthritis Care Week which takes place between 8th and 16th May.

Information talks at set times, demonstrations, discounts, special offers and free samples will be available all day.

The event will take place at St Mary's Church, Ferndown on Wednesday between 10- 4pm.

Professionals will be available to offer free help, medical and non medical advice for people living with or having to manage arthritis.

There will be local support from Lucy Ross-Browne (The Practice Ferndown), Anna Hanson (Bay Tree Health Food Store, Ferndown), Julie de Silver (Ferndown Physiotherapy Clinic), Debbie Haynes, Chiropodist, Ferndown Sports and Leisure Centre, and Arthritis Action.

All are giving their time freely in support of Arthritis Care Week.

Mr Selwyn Richards, consultant rheumatologist, Poole and Bournemouth Hospital, will open the afternoon session with a talk on 'The New and the Old in Arthritis Care Treatment'.

The event is free of charge, and the facilities of the adjoining Beacon Caf will be available throughout the day.

The local Ferndown Branch of Arthritis Care is a social group within Arthritis Care, whose aim is to provide social and friendship events allowing local residents to have at least one to two days out per month.

The meetings are on the first Saturday of the month at the Day Centre, Penny's Walk and members enjoy an hour's entertainment, followed by tea, cake and social interaction. Additionally regular outings in the summer months are provided to ensure no one is house bound and can share in a social event making new friends and acquaintances. At Christmas members enjoy a festive lunch at a hotel in Bournemouth.

The awareness event is for anyone who has arthritis themselves, a family member or friend.

For more information contact Pam Bentley chairman Ferndown Branch Arthritis Care via email asf@arttrailcentre.co.uk or 01202 872074.
