Charities
The Tuberous Sclerosis Association (TSA) was launched in 1977 with a membership of 50 families and funds of just £25. We have grown from a round robin support letter to a professional organisation providing support to families affected by Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) across the UK. The TSA is a registered charity with three charitable objectives: To support individuals affected by TSC, together with their families or carers To encourage and support research into the causes and management of TSC To provide education and information We look to our past to retain our community spirit, but drive forward by pushing the boundaries of what a small and dedicated team is capable of achieving. Through the TSA’s support services team, the active TSC online community and flagship TSA annual events, you should never feel alone with TSC.
TSSS is a national charity caring for the needs of those with Turner Syndrome (TS) throughout the UK. The Society offers support, advice and information to those with TS. The Society enjoys a good relationship with relevant specialists to promote a good basis for education and understanding of the management of Turner Syndrome.
Tusk promotes the conservation of all African Wildlife and particularly the protection of endangered species. Tusks holistic approach to conservation also recognises that the long term future for wildlife is dependant on sustainable human development. At the end of 2005, Prince William announced his Royal Patronage to the charity.
The UK Antarctic Heritage Trust protects and preserves sites and artefacts of international significance across the Antarctic Peninsula. We aim to make our shared Antarctic heritage accessible to all, whether from the sofa or the ship. We want audiences across the world to be able to discover these charismatic sites and their remarkable stories. Through this, we hope that people will develop a deeper appreciation for this extraordinary continent. Our work centres on six historic bases along the Antarctic Peninsula, each site telling a unique story of discovery and scientific exploration. These sites, which were built between the 1940s and 1970s, are the missing link between the Heroic Era structures of Scott and Shackleton and the modern-day scientific stations such as Halley and Rothera, operated by the British Antarctic Survey. These iconic structures were left empty for several decades, until the establishment of UKAHT in 1993. Since then, we have been working to conserve and care for these sites in order to make them safe, secure and accessible for visitors from around the world.
