We are proud to partner with the ADHD Foundation on this exciting new project

We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with the @ADHD foundation and @Autistica, @The Dyspraxia Foundation, @Dyslexia Scotland and @Dyscalculia Network to be part of the National Neurodiversity Youth Council.

A first in its kind, the national project will create a forum of young people aged 16-24 years old to represent each charity in the coalition.

It has been designed by young people for young people, to bring youth voices into the national conversation about neurodiversity and to amplify their voices on matters that affect them and to influence policy and practice.

Tourettes Action are proud to have two amazing ambassadors representing the TS community:

Zach Clarke and Lauren Wyatt

Please look out for our launch over the next couple of weeks on BBC Radio 1 Newsbeat with exclusive interviews from our ambassadors.
