How to join
The benefits of joining the ITP Support Association:-
How much will it cost
In the UK membership is free, although we invite donations. For those
living outside the UK here is a mailing fee
of £10 per annum to cover postage costs.
Who can join?
Anyone with an interest in ITP (whether patient, past sufferer, parent,
family member, or health professional) can join our organisation which
is the only registered charity for ITP in the UK (Charity Reg no.1064480).
How do I join?
If you are in the UK, download and complete
the membership form and post it to us with any voluntary donation, an
addressed envelope and two first class stamps. You will
automatically be sent an information pack on joining. Should you wish
to discontinue membership in the future, just contact us and your name
will be removed from our list.

What are the benefits?
Membership of the ITP Support Association mailing list brings you:
- The Platelet, our quarterly journal
- access to our patient/parent contact volunteers
- further information on ITP, treatment and the latest research; through our numerous free booklets and factsheets
- advice from our medical advisors on difficult conditions
- an invitation to attend annual ITP Support Association Conventions featuring visiting ITP specialists
- occasional optional surveys to gather data on ITP
Will my name be passed to other organisations?
Certainly not. Our mailing list is confidential and will not be disclosed
to any other organisation.
What will my donation be used for?
It will be used to continue our daily work of providing information
on ITP to patients, and to fund research.
It will not be used for salaries or office premises as The Association
is run by volunteers from their own homes, with just one part time worker
whose wage is sponsored.
