We rolled out the 'purple' carpet to shine 
a spotlight on our incredible community!

As Dystonia Awareness Month drew closer to an end, it was our great pleasure to host the 3rd annual Dystonia UK Awards ceremony. Set overlooking the iconic Oval cricket grounds, with spectacular food, dazzling entertainment from Sky Magic, and an exclusive Q&A with our patron and double gold medal Paralympic Swimming Champion, Tully Kearney MBE, it was certainly a night to remember! We had quite the turn out as we were joined by members of the community, nominees and of course your winners too! The bubbles were flowing and the room was full of an excited buzz. We had such a wonderful evening celebrating and we hope everyone who joined us enjoyed this special celebration too.

Nominated and voted for by the community, the awards has become a really special night in our calendar.
