UK registered charity no. 1108179

Welcome to the UK TM Society home page. The TM Society is a UK registered charity with over 600 members. All members of TM Association living in UK are automatically members of TM Society.

TMA and TMS work very closely together. Both organisations are run by volunteers, with no paid staff nor professional fundraising. So we both are 100% reliant on donations. 100% of every donation is spent on our charitable objectives ie information and support for members and research to cure TM.

If you want to help us click on the Donate Now button opposite – and if you are a UK taxpayer make sure to Gift Aid your donation. If you shop online with Amazon, click on the link opposite and TMA will get a useful commission directly from Amazon, on everything you buy.

If you are new to this site and want to learn more about TM, we invite you to use this link now to the TMA website, to become a member (free of charge). The UK TM Society will be automatically notified and we will send you a New Members Pack of information about TM, which you can use to inform yourself and also your GP, physiotherapist, family and friends.

Then you can use this website straightaway to find additional information about TM and the TM Society:

  • Print out our UK TM Society leaflets below to find contact numbers and email addresses for TM Society officers and telephone help.
  • Click on the UK Support Groups link below, to find out if there is a Support Group near you.
  • Link to the TMA website, to explore additional resources such as Frequently Asked Questions, articles about how to manage chronic pain, continence, depression, information about related conditions ADEM, NMO (Devics Disease) and Optic Neuritis.
  • Search the website by entering a keyword or phrase eg ‘fatigue’, ‘neuropathic pain’ or ‘recurring TM’
