Welcome to the ARA Research Fund Website
The ARA Research Fund is a charity dedicated to supporting and promoting innovative research in the field of rheumatology. Our mission is to improve the lives of patients with rheumatic diseases through the advancement of knowledge and the development of new treatments. With the support of our donors and partners, we fund research projects that explore the underlying causes, mechanisms, and potential cures for rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, osteoarthritis, and other musculoskeletal related conditions. Through this website, we aim to share information about our research initiatives, highlight the impact of our work, and provide opportunities for individuals and organisations to get involved and support our cause.
We believe that everyone deserves to live a healthy and fulfilling life. With your support, we can make a difference in the lives of people affected by rheumatic diseases.
