Families across UK and Ireland join forces to share experiences for new HD Alliance webinar

As part of our work to build understanding and spread the word during Huntington’s Disease Awareness Month, we are proud to present a new webinar for families and others interested in learning more about the condition.

Delivered by the UK and Ireland Huntington’s Disease Alliance, Huntington’s and Me features a series of short pre-recorded interviews with family members from Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Ireland.

Their insights and experiences offer honest, first-hand perspectives and a deeper understanding of what it means to support and live alongside someone with Huntington’s disease.

The webinar takes place on Wednesday 20 May 2026 from 7pm to 8pm.
