The National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society is giving people the chance to win cash prizes of up to £25,000, whilst helping a worthy cause, by joining the Unity Lottery.
With the National Lottery price increase to £2, NRAS lottery is a great alternative and offers a higher chance of winning. The cost is £1 every week to receive a unique six digit number, with 50p of that going towards NRAS. A lottery draw takes place every week with prizes from £5 to £25,000 up for grabs.
Tracey Hancock, Director of Development at NRAS said: “We are delighted to be joining with Unity Lottery to raise funds for NRAS and give our supporters a chance to win a generous prize too. As a small charity that receives no government funding to provide our frontline services, we rely on fundraising activities such as this to ensure we can continue to reach all those who come to us for information, support and help in living with rheumatoid arthritis.”
Richard Dixon, managing director of Sterling, said: "I know from personal experience the effect that rheumatoid arthritis can have and am extremely proud to be working with NRAS and helping them raise money to continue the great work they do helping people with the disease."

National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society
So you are now looking at the new Media and Communications officer at the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society (NRAS). Hi!
The last few weeks have been so interesting. Coming from an agency background into the charity sector, I am feeling very excited to start making a difference in the world of RA.
NRAS is the only charity in the UK providing support, information and advocacy for people with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis, their families, friends and carers. It is also a resource for health professionals with an interest in rheumatology and work closely with rheumatology teams across the UK.
The media profile of the charity needs expanding on both a national and a local front. With our volunteer network and group meetings all over the UK taking place, it is important that local journalists know about the NRAS groups in their area. There is an estimated 650,000 people living with RA in the UK and NRAS currently holds just over 4000 members. The potential for growth at NRAS is tremendous. Wouldn't it be great if everyone living with the disease in the UK knew that they could embrace incredible support, knowledge and advocacy from the hardworking team here at NRAS?
I am always looking for case studies and stories to feature in our NRAS magazine so if this post jumps out at you, please do contact me on daniela@nras.org.uk.
Thank you x
