Becoming a Trustee

Coming up to the Family Weekend we are always looking for people to become new trustees. We do have 2 Trustee's stepping down from the board at this AGM and we would like to thank them for their service and dedication to TAG. 

If you are interested in becoming a trustee please read the below:

Thank you to our fundraisers

Without Fundraisers we wouldn't be able to do all the work that we do for you and the Family weekend would not be possible. This year we wanted to thank all those of you that have donated money this year. We have raised over £2,700 which is great and Thank you to everyone who has donated. 

We Need you!

Fundraising

TAG relies on donations to continue the good work that we do. Without this, we would not be able to host the events and support that we provide to members every day. If you can help, please check out the details on our Fundraising page using the button below

Medical Professionals

We are constanstantly looking to improve our connections with the medical community. Arthrogryposis effects 1 in 300,000 people and there is very little research into the condition. We have a whole section on our website dedicated to medical professionals and improving these connections. Check it out
