The concept of a "guardian angel" is one that persists. From Greek mythology, world religions and pop culture, guardian angels are there to support and look after their charges.

Ataxia Angels are special individuals who decide to take Ataxia UK under their charge and make a commitment to helping make a world free of ataxia a reality. And until this happens, they help support all those affected by ataxia.

Could you be an Ataxia Angel?

What does it mean to be an Ataxia Angel?

Ataxia Angels are individuals who can commit to giving a minimum amount of £1,000 or more on a annual basis. Helping to ensure that vital research into treatments and cures continues, and that people can be supported until these are found.

What will my impact as an Angel be?

Your annual commitment and generosity will help to;

• invest in scientific research to have the maximum impact on the future development of treatments and cures
• develop resources and provide information services for those affected by ataxia at key stages of their diagnosis including the medical guidelines
• ensure services such as the helpline continue to be available for all who need them.

• An exclusive Ataxia Angel pin badge

• Your name engraved on the Ataxia Angel plaque of honour in the office
