Deputy Lord Mayor’s Blog 16
I was very pleased on Saturday last to be invited to the event held by the Birmingham Arthritis Resource Centre (BARC) at the Medical School at the University of Birmingham. BARC is an educational project based on a partnership between the University and the City Council.
Now in its eleventh year, BARC helps people with arthritis to have improved quality of life and greater long-term independence.
