2nd – 9th December - Every Donation Doubled!
TA Fests are lifelines for people with Tourette’s and their families - creating real friendships, freedom, and hope. Last year, we hosted 6 Fest weekends supporting 398 participants. With no major funding secured for 2026, urgent support is needed to keep these life-changing events going.
“Every pound you give will be matched, which means every moment for a person with Tourette’s will be multiplied. Your gift can make a real difference.” – Emma McNally, CEO
With your support, we’re aiming to raise £50,000 to fund our Fests. Every donation brings us closer to making that happen.
Thanks to our Big Give Pledgers, every pound you give between now and midday on Tuesday 9 December will be DOUBLED. That means if we raise £25,000 in donations, it will instantly become £50,000 - twice the impact for the TS community.
Thank you for your support and for being part of our mission to help more people with Tourette's when they need us.
One donation, twice the impact
Donate to Tourettes Action between midday on Tuesday 2 December and midday on Tuesday 9 December on the Big Give's website and your donation will be DOUBLED by our generous Big Give Pledgers (for as long as matched funding remains).
How does it work?
It's time to make your donations work harder! The Big Give Challenge is now live!. Any donations made via the Big Give's website to Tourettes Action will be matched by our team of generous Big Give Pledgers and Big Give Champion, Reed Foundation. We have a pledge pot of £25,000 ready to be doubled to our target of £50,000.
How Your Gift Makes a Difference
£25 will fund marshmallows and biscuits for s’mores at 1 Fest event
£50 will fund craft activities for an entire weekend
£100 will fund an indoor team activity to help build confidence
£250 will fund one person’s place at a life-changing Fest weekend
“This weekend has given me a new perspective on living with Tourette's, and I’ve come away with a deeper understanding of myself and the condition. The friendships I’ve formed and the confidence I’ve gained are things I will carry with me long after this event... It’s made a lasting difference in my life.” – Adult Fest Attendee
