Do you have Huntington’s or care for someone with the disease?

Scottish Huntington’s Association, the only organisation in the country dedicated exclusively to the care and support of people impacted by Huntington’s, is holding a new support group here at Renfrewshire Carers Centre.

The first meetings will take place on Friday 2 October 2026 from 1pm to 3pm, and Friday 5 February 2027 from 1pm to 3pm, for people with the disease, family members, and carers.

A Scottish Huntington’s Association HD Specialist will be there to answer any questions you may have, and you will also meet other people facing the challenges of this devastating disease.

Huntington’s is caused by an inherited faulty gene that damages the brain. Over time people with the disease will lose the ability to walk, talk, eat, drink and care for themselves.

In addition to organising family and carer support groups across the country, Scottish Huntington’s Association delivers a nationwide network of HD Specialists, Specialist Youth Advisors and a Financial Wellbeing Service.
