Ataxia UK has been supporting people with ataxia and their families for over forty years now. We provide unique services and support, including a dedicated helpline and advocacy service; events and conferences where people can meet and share information; welfare grants; a quarterly magazine; a website with lots of information and a discussion forum; publications, films, and reports. We offer free membership and vital support from the difficult time of first diagnosis through all the challenges people with ataxia face.

Ataxia UK’s vision is a world without ataxia. Although we are a small charity, Ataxia UK has over the past five years raised and granted £3 million for research into ataxia. As well as supporting people with ataxia, the money that we raise goes straight to funding world-class research into treatments and a possible cure. Every day our researchers are working on projects that lead us closer to the hope of a cure for ataxia.
