Fundraise for Tourettes Action
Tourettes Action relies entirely on the support of people like you. We receive no support from government, so fundraising by our supporters is essential for our work with people living with Tourette syndrome (TS).
There are lots of ways to get involved with fundraising for TA. Many of our supporters collect sponsorship for taking part in an organised challenge, like running marathons, walking challenges or skydiving. Others apply for ballot places in organised events or devise their own such as music concerts, comedy nights, bake sales or garden parties.
These are all great ways of raising money for TA and spreading the word about TS, and we are here to support you all the way.
