Active Community Network

Free Network Membership

For community sports clubs, adaptive and inclusive teams, charities, leisure providers and local organisations helping people stay active, connected and included. There is no financial commitment — just a shared belief that everyone deserves to move, connect and belong.

Calling all community sports clubs, charities and NHS organisations — join the Moore Than Arthritis Active Community Network

Stronger together. Beyond limits.

The Moore Than Arthritis Active Community Network brings together organisations across the UK that share our commitment to inclusive activity and community wellbeing. As a free Network Member you gain visibility, resources and a collaborative community — with the option to explore formal partnership at any time.

No financial commitment required

Submitting an expression of interest does not create a formal partnership or any financial obligation. It simply opens a conversation about how we can work together to support people living with arthritis and long-term health conditions.

    Walking football, swimming, adaptive cycling, chair-based activity and more.

  • Adaptive and inclusive teams

    Organisations running sessions specifically designed for people with long-term conditions or disabilities.

Bespoke and In-Kind Partnerships

We also welcome partnerships involving venues, equipment, professional expertise, training, event support, accessible products or other practical contributions. Bespoke arrangements are considered individually to ensure they are appropriate, transparent and beneficial to the communities we serve.

Discuss a bespoke partnership

Partnership status does not constitute medical approval, clinical endorsement or a guarantee of services. Moore Than Arthritis does not recommend individual treatments or healthcare providers. All partnerships must reflect our values of accessibility, inclusion, dignity, transparency and respect.
