They had a brilliant, challenging and extraordinary adventure together. A full report will appear soon. Members will receive details of how to book for TS Camp 2009 in a forthcoming newsletter.

Tourettes Action on the Web
We created an official Facebook group because we think a close knit community means better exchange of information and mutual support. Along with this website and our online survyes, Tourettes Action Facebook improves communication between Tourettes Action and all community members. Join the group now and have your say.
