Your Impact

Ataxia UK is a medical research charity with a clear objective: to provide funds and support to ataxia research with the goal of developing treatments and cures for the ataxias.

Since 2000 we have invested £6.75m in research.

There are many types of ataxia, including conditions such as Friedreich’s ataxia (FA) and the spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA). Our research strategy is to support projects on many different types of ataxia.

We believe in working collaboratively, to accelerate progress in research and raise the prospects for a cure. We will continue to work with researchers, patient groups and pharmaceutical companies around the world and to foster new relationships wherever there is great promise.
