The A-T Society offers a wider range of help and support to everyone affected by A-T. When someone is diagnosed with A-T, they and their families often feel thrown into a world they knew nothing about. Coming on top of all the emotions and other things to deal with, this can you leave you feeling very disorientated.
The Society provides information both about A-T and about the services and support you should be able to access, from us and from others. The key to this is to contact Kay, our Family Support Worker. In addition to providing information and a sympathetic ear, Kay may be able to offer practical support in helping you find help locally. She is also able to make arrangements for people to access the two national A-T clinics at Nottingham and Papworth.
Other forms of practical support that we offer include access to our counsellor, Helen Hart and individual support grants to help with the cost of expensive items of equipment. We also organise a range of events, including our annual Family Day, Activity Weekends and occasional Respite Holidays.
You will find more information about the support we offer in the menu on the left; alternatively, you can contact Kay direct on 01582 760733 or e-mail kay@atsociety.org.uk
