Thursdays demonstration outside Diageo was a great success. Thalidomiders travelled from across the country to make their voices heard, and we held constructive discussions with representatives before and after the event which were respectful, constructive, and polite.

Many Diageo employees were unaware of the company’s historical connection to thalidomide, giving us an important opportunity to raise awareness. Most importantly, Diageo heard our message, recognised Thalidomide Voice as a genuine voice within the community, and acknowledged that fresh thinking is needed to overcome the current impasse.

This was just the beginning. More events and activities are already being planned. We hope you’ll join us. Take a look at

We held a successful inaugural meeting of the All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Thalidomide last week. The group is now officially established as our voice in Parliament and is chaired by Rosie Duffield MP. Twelve MPs attended the meeting, despite it coinciding with the start of the Mandelson Debate, demonstrating their strong commitment to the group. We thank everyone for their support.
