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.
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.

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.
