PSPA

PSP & CBD are devastating neurological conditions. Currently there is no treatment and no cure. But there is hope. We provide information and support and fund vital research. We couldn’t do this without our amazing volunteers. We aim to improve the lives of everyone affected by PSP and CBD, while funding research to seek a cure. PSPA provides support and information to people living with PSP and CBD, while funding research into treatments and ultimately a cure for these conditions. Our aim is that people affected by PSP and CBD do not feel they have to face the future alone.
