10 years of FND Action

Ten years later, we're celebrating a decade of raising awareness, providing support and information, challenging misconceptions and advocating for better understanding and care for people living with FND.
Our community has been at the heart of everything we've done, and we would love you to be part of our 10th anniversary.

Choose one, choose a few, adapt them to suit you, or use them as inspiration for your own idea.
We would love to see how you get involved!
Send us your photos, videos, tell us what you've been doing, or tag us using #FNDAct10n and we'll share as many as we can across our social media during our anniversary celebrations.
