ARTHRITIS Care, one of the UK's largest user-led charitable organisations with 60 years experience of working with and for people with arthritis, is seeking to recruit adults 18+, to train to become Training Volunteers, helping to deliver its range of self-management courses in Northern Ireland.
Self-management courses have been designed to help individuals cope with the pain, fatigue, frustration and other problems caused by living with a chronic disease.
The courses are informal, friendly and fun - many of those who attend say that the experience of meeting other people with arthritis and discussing their problems with other like-minded individuals has literally put them back in control of their life again and helped them to realise that there is life after arthritis.
If this sound like something you would like to be a part of and if you have arthritis and can commit to attending a three-day training session at the end of April at the office in Antrim, and then further commit to delivering two courses per year, Antrim's Arthritis Care would love to hear from you.
No experience is necessary as all training will be provided along with out of pocket expenses.
For further information on becoming a Training Volunteer, please telephone Yvonne Knipe, training administrator, Arthritis Care N Ireland, on 028 9448 1380.
