We are delighted to have https://buff.ly/3r1bmKm as one of our amazing mentors this year! Paul is an award-winning photographer who has late onset full blown Tourette Syndrome plus, which started out of the blue a decade ago. He has found that he gets some respite and great fulfilment through helping others. He uses his unique position to raise awareness and offers empathy and solidarity to many young people who are struggling with their diagnosis. Through his public speaking and TV and radio appearances, Paul seeks to raise awareness of Tourettes, increase acceptance and reduce discrimination. Paul is an advocate for Tourettes Action, Tic & Hull Yorkshire, Tourettes Scotland, Tourette Lifelong Care and Tourette Roma. He is looking forward to being a #TACA mentor and seeing, first-hand, a range of visual arts pieces created by talented young people from across the UK.

From one of our supporters, Alison. 💚 Honouring Danny & Celebrating our TS Community 💚 Tourettes Action has been a lifeline for our family, supporting us through my daughter Bella’s tic disorder diagnosis. This year, in memory of my son Danny, who died in 2018, his friends organised a charity football match, raising £250 for Tourettes Action. What made this year extra special was attending Tic-Fest with Bella—creating amazing memories together on the anniversary of Danny’s passing. I know he was cheering us on. Thank you, Tourettes Action, for everything you do to support families like ours. Proud to be part of this community!💚 https://buff.ly/4fXrkdp #TourettesAction #InMemory #TicFest2024
