They will also receive a regular newsletter and be invited to conferences organised by the foundation and it's supporting organisations.
  • Education - to highlight the disorder to members, the medical profession (particularly at GP level) and the community as a whole through receptions, the regular medical conferences already organised, and by distribution of literature so that children with the disorder can be identified more quickly.

PS - Health and Poverty

Perhaps the biggest cause of ill health in the world is poverty. Help to Make Poverty History. For example, why not lend some of your money to disadvantaged communities to enable them to trade their way out of poverty through schemes such as Shared Interest.

See also MAKEPOVERTYHISTORY North East for details and links to campaigns against poverty.
