Welcome to the BTF

Thyroid disorders affect one in 20 people in the UK.
Could you be one of them?

The British Thyroid Foundation is a charity dedicated to supporting people with thyroid disorders and helping their families and people around them to understand the condition.

Since setting up in 1991 we have worked with medical professionals to ensure that the information we provide is reliable and evidence-based.

Our volunteers have first-hand knowledge of thyroid disease, enabling them to help you, whether by phone or at meetings.

The British Thyroid Foundation is for anyone who wants to know the facts about thyroid disease.

Whatever your type of thyroid disorder we will provide you with information and support.

Butterfly_buns_smallHarrogate Spring Flower Show 2012

BTF was delighted to have been given the chance to be at the prestigious Harrogate Flower Show where we shared a stand with the award-winning botanical artist Anna Knights. Inspite of the terrible weather, thousands of people came to the show and many of those came to meet us and seemed to be delighted about the work we do. These beautiful butterfly cakes were kindly made for us by talented local cakemaker Kirsty Poulter at Piece of Cake in Harrogate.

British Thyroid Association Website

Over the last 2 weeks, you may have noticed that the British Thyroid Association website is displaying information which is unrelated to the organisation. The domain lease is renewed each year and this transaction was completed and confirmed as previously. However, for reasons that are currently being investigated by the company involved, the website domain was simultaneously and inappropriately made available for purchase by external parties. The current content reflects the purchaser’s interests. The British Thyroid Association is in direct correspondence with the purchaser who has agreed to return the domain. It is hoped that this will be actioned in the near future and we are grateful for your patience while we resolve this issue with the purchaser and the leasing company.
