Key takeaways

  • This funder suits work that directly supports people with ataxia-telangiectasia (AT) or AT-like conditions, or that funds AT research; a general charity with no link to these conditions is unlikely to fit.
  • The annual report gives one total of £59,994 awarded, which may include grants to individuals, and no grant range is stated, so the size of any request should be set by the actual cost of the item or project and not by a guessed figure.
  • Because no application process is published, get in touch with the contact shown before applying.
  • For a support grant, expect to send an application form, a letter of support from an occupational therapist or other health or social care professional, two quotes where possible, and evidence that you have sought statutory or other funding.
  • Do not ask for a long-term financial commitment, a loan, or an item that has already been bought or a deposit already paid, as these are excluded.

Overview

AT Society is a charity registered with the Charity Commission for England and Wales (charity number 1105528).

AT Society is a charity registered in England and Wales, set up for the relief of sickness and distress among people suffering from ataxia-telangiectasia. It aims to improve quality of life and quality of care for people living with AT, and to promote research to lengthen lives and ultimately bring about a cure. It makes two types of grants, research grants and individual support grants, and also provides specialist care, information and advocacy for people with AT and their families. Its latest annual report records £59,994 awarded.

What they fund

Priority Areas

The AT Society funds research aimed at improving treatments and finding a cure for ataxia-telangiectasia, and provides individual support grants to people affected by AT. Its support grants help with items and services needed because of the condition that people cannot easily afford or fund elsewhere; all support must directly benefit the person with AT. Its research grants support research projects. The Society’s Scientific Advisory Board uses peer review to assess scientific merit, alignment with the Society’s research strategy, duplication of existing research and effective use of research funds. Alongside its grant-making, the Society provides specialist care, information and advocacy for people living with AT and their families.
