Who can join?
Anyone with an interest in ITP ­ whether patient, past sufferer, parent, family member or friend, can join our organisation which is a registered charity.

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, sponsoring an ITP specialist nurse, holding annual conventions and funding research. The Association is run by volunteers from their own homes, so your donation will not be used for salaries or office expenses.
