What is Tay-Sachs?
Tay–Sachs disease is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder that mainly affects children.
It causes a relentless deterioration of mental and physical abilities in an individual and results in premature death.

The charity is dedicated to finding a treatment for Tay-Sachs and funds the research into this directly.

Our work
To meet the charitable objective of The CATS Foundation we undertake many awareness raising events throughout the year. We regularly visit schools to promote the charity and give presentations on Tay-Sachs.
Our close links with the Tay-Sachs research team enables us to keep our members up to date on all the work being undertaken in this area. Like us, they are dedicated in finding a treatment for the disease.
In October 2012 we held our first annual general meeting in London to showcase our work in the first year of The CATS Foundation. Families and supporters attended and a short video can be found below.
