Use your virtual wallet to support Arthritis NZ
Friday 27 September is our Annual Street Day, and if you ‘don’t have any cash’ that’s ok. Use your phone and TXT ‘JOINTS’ to ‘5464’. This new programme allows you to donate and support the 530,000 New Zealanders who are living with arthritis, and to also make payments to other companies that are part of the TXTPAY programme.
The message from Sandra Kirby when you TXT will assure of you of the process and your receipt will arrive automatically.
Arthritis NZ is excited to be trialling this new ‘virtual wallet’ system to make it easier for the public to support us.

forms of arthritis of which osteoarthritis, gout and
rheumatoid arthritis are the most prevalent

be surprised to learn there are 1,000 children and young
people living with the pain of arthritis.
• Arthritis,
it could surprise you.
• Chances are someone you love
lives with arthritis.
• Arthritis is the leading cause
of disability in our country, and there is no cure. It can
affect anyone, at any age, at any time.
• There are
17,940 people receiving sickness or invalids benefits as a
result of musculo-skeletal conditions, the bulk of which
will be arthritis.

Without the generosity of our donors and volunteers, we
wouldn’t be able to help those who live with the pain of
arthritis every day.

leader in the provision of awareness, education, services
and advocacy for arthritis in New Zealand.
