Do I need to raise money? Expand There is no minimum fundraising requirement, we are so grateful for anything you collect, big or small! You can collect donations on the day or ask guests to donate to our 'Picnic & Play' campaign page via JustGiving. By hosting a picnic for Dystonia UK you are helping to carry on our mission to give both hope and support to everyone living with dystonia and to create UK and worldwide awareness. Most importantly it means that we can continue to be here for everyone who is affected by dystonia, so that no one feels alone. Your donations mean that we can continue providing up to date dystonia information and news through our booklet, website and 'Dystonia Matters' magazine as well as our support groups and 'Dystonia Matters Live' conference. Watch our animations, listen to our podcasts and hear from the professionals in our webinars to see how we use some of your donations.
