Our very own
Office and Finance Manager, organised an amazing ‘Tea for TNA’ at her caravan, with fellow caravaners making a variety of cakes and goodies. This was followed by a Fun Bingo in aid of TNA.
At the event, Heather met someone’s partner who has Trigeminal Neuralgia but wasn’t aware of the Association and all the various ways we can help.
“It doesn’t matter where you are or whether it’s a special day, you can still hold an event, even if it’s with someone baking fabulous cakes in a caravan!” Heather said.
our Trustee and Regional Support Leader, with
held a ‘Tea of TNA’, with their friends and neighbours.
The idea of ‘Tea for TNA’ really helped to raise donations and awareness, as Lorraine’s neighbours had no idea of the excruciating pain which she faces every day. They were really surprised to learn of her condition and amazed to see how well she copes despite having TN.
A great deal of work and effort has gone into these events
A big thank you to all of you who have not been able to host a ‘Tea for TNA’ party but have been sending in donations in lieu. We are incredibly grateful for your generosity and for supporting us
