The Thalidomide Society is a national charity founded with the aim of supporting people with Thalidomide-related and similar disabilities to overcome their special difficulties. The organisation is user-led and provides assistance and advice enabling its members to meet, exchange information, share experiences and tackle the practical and emotional problems which they encounter on a daily basis. Thalidomide caused a unique range of disabilities and peer support is critical to the majority of those affected.

The Society also provides information, advice and support to the families of children with similar disabilities, to similarly impaired adults of any age, and to professional workers in the statutory and voluntary sectors. The Society also monitors the increasing use of thalidomide in clinical trials.

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.
