We’re supporting #SmallCharityWeek 🙌 Did you know that 96% of UK charities are small? We’re playing a big role in providing vital services to millions of people across the country.

We want the next government to review the prescription charge exemption list, so people with #Behcets in England don't pay for vital medication like the rest of the UK. We signed the letter to party leaders asking them to commit to reviewing the charge #ReviewTheCharge #GE24

For #GE2024 we want candidates to pledge to help to improve awareness of genetic, rare and undiagnosed conditions including for those living with #Behcets bit.ly/P4GRUCan Find out more at geneticalliance.org.uk/pledge4gru/ #Pledge4GRU @GeneticAll_UK

Your next MP can help improve the lives of people affected by neurological conditions, and conditions with neurological symptoms like #Behcets. Call on your local parliamentary candidates to #BackThe1in6 & become a #NeuroChampion in the next Parliament. bit.ly/NeuroChampion
