Tourette's Syndrome Inclusion in the Community says it has lost out on funding bids.
www.bbc.comHere are the latest updates I can confirm right now:
-
The BBC reported that a Tourette’s syndrome support charity in the UK, which serves families in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire, faced potential closure after funding bids were rejected and existing funding ended. The charity warned it could operate only until August without new support, highlighting the real-world impact on families who rely on their services. This underscores ongoing funding and sustainability challenges for Tourette-focused organizations in the UK.[1]
-
The Tourette Association of America (TAA) issued several timely statements in 2026, including coverage around the US release of the film “I Swear,” which depicts life with Tourette Syndrome and emphasizes public understanding. They also announced a major awareness billboard campaign in Times Square and Los Angeles, and a National Advocacy Day with hundreds of advocates. These actions reflect continued efforts to raise awareness and influence policy and public perception in the US.[2]
-
In the UK, Tourette-related news outlets and charities continue to share updates on events, campaigns, and educational initiatives. For example, Tourettes Action maintains a “Latest news” section highlighting webinars, EHCP guidance, and related topics aimed at families and educators. This indicates ongoing educational and community-support activity around Tourette Syndrome in the UK.[3][4]
-
Broader Tourette-related coverage appears across multiple outlets, including profiles and features about individuals living with Tourette Syndrome and organizational responses to public events. This includes ongoing reporting on advocacy, research updates, and public-facing campaigns designed to improve understanding and support networks.[5][6]
If you’d like, I can:
- Narrow to a specific region (e.g., US or UK) or to a particular aspect (funding, film releases, advocacy events);
- Summarize the key organizations involved in the latest efforts (e.g., TIC in the UK, TAA in the US, Tourettes Action in the UK);
- Provide direct links and brief takeaways from each source for quick阅读.
Would you like me to drill down on a particular angle or region?
