Welcome to the FASD Trust The FASD Trust was started in January 2007 in response to the growing number of requests for information on FASD being received by Simon & Julia Brown, adoptive parents of a child with FASD. Be sure to visit us regularly for updated information about FASD and for news of the Trust's recent activities and forthcoming events. The latest headlines appear in the featured items below, and you will find plenty of other interesting and relevant news by clicking on the News and Events link on this home page. The Events Calendar page provides a handy summary of all our activities nationwide in the coming months. We have a Friends of The FASD Trust scheme, open to people who give to us regularly. We ask that Friends of the Trust consider giving £20 or more a year (that is just £1.67 per month), and in return we offer access to a range of additional information, as well as exciting monthly prizes and special offers. Membership forms for Friends of the Trust can be downloaded here, or e-mail Tammy at friends@fasdtrust.co.uk. To help you keep in touch with us, we produce an electronic newsletter, FASD Connect, several times per year. To access our latest update, please click here. To go on our mailing list for us to send future editions direct to you, please click here. We have recently updated our Donations and Fund-raising page, so please take a look there to get details of the various ways in which you can now donate funds to support our activities, and also to learn about ways in which we can help you to organise fund-raising and awareness-raising events. We are also pleased to tell you that our Family Finder Service, after a successful initial trial period, has become a regular part of the range of support services that we strive to provide. This is one service in particular that can potentially make a huge difference in the life of a child with FASD!
