We are moving!

We are so pleased to let you all know that we are moving premises! We have been working for the past 14 years from a log cabin at the bottom of my garden with only three staff.

Things are changing and we now have four members of staff and we are moving to proper office premises!

The new office has so much space instead of being cramped and we will be able to get a lot more work done and help more people.

This has been my dream for so long and it’s finally a reality.

Without lottery funding this would not be happening. We are so grateful to the Lottery Community Fund.

We even have our own parking signs, thanks to our new landlord.

We are moving on 10th June so we will be closing the office for a few days but we hope to cause as little disruption as possible.

To have grown and expanded ThyroidUK is a wonderful achievement and to have caused so many people to join together to help each other with support and friendship is something very special.

Best wishes going forward, to you, the staff and to all thyroid patients

Thank you.

I'd say it's more than a shame pennyannie ....it is a monumental scandal.

How exciting. You must be so happy to see all your hard work grow more and more significant. Where would I be without all the help I have received on this site? Thank you!

Fabulous!!! When I first found Thyroid UK on the HealthUnlocked forum in 2004, there were around 5000 of us here. To see it today with over 130k members is both gratifying and sad in a way… but the fact you’ve moved from kitchen table to cabin to proper offices has to be a positive one! Thank you for all you and your staff do, many of us would be drifting (and sinking) all at sea without this forum!

Good Idea .. whatever you do, don't let boys have it .... they'll just fill it full of bit's of Iveco.

Thanks for all you do, and for helping me know through so many years that I am part of a tribe of pioneering , intelligent and determined people , and not a lone neurotic female troublemaker !

Hear hear to the point about not being a troublemaker...who would say heart attack victims are troublemakers? So why us ?

My very best wishes to you, and hopefully onwards and upwards. If and when it dawns on the medics at last that those who need combination therapy, TUK's recognition and influence should increase greatly.

Thank you so much for all your kind thoughts! I can’t believe I have been campaigning now for 25 years! I think k moving to a proper office will make us more credible and allow us to get more campaigning done in the future!

Thank you for all that you and the team do. Without this forum's help I wouldn't have been so confident with my self medicating, but now that I have taken responsibility for my thyroid, I am happier and certainly healthier. Good luck with the move.
