17 June 2006 - Ataxia UK is The October Club’s Charity 2006

Ataxia UK is delighted to announce that it has been chosen by The October Club as the beneficiary of its annual fundraising activities. These culminate with an auction, held each October at a sell-out dinner at The Savoy. This event is the highlight of the social calendar for City trading houses. Last year more than £486,000 was raised.

Ataxia UK will use funds from The October Club to fast track the development of its UK network of Accredited Ataxia Centres, which will immediately improve services for people affected by ataxia, and to fund two new major research projects.
