Problem with the "Join Us" form.

1 August 2018

We are aware there is an apparent issue with the "Join Us" membership registration webform on our website. The form displays an error message after it is submitted, appearing to have not saved.

Please be assured that despite the error message, we are actually receiving the form data and it is being saved correctly.

The issue causing the error display is being worked on and will hopefully be resolved shortly. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused any of our site visitors.

One of our most important projects for 2018 is the development of the Narcolepsy Charter.

Aimed at tackling the challenges and discrimination faced by the narcolepsy community across the UK, the Charter will be a written statement of the rights of people with narcolepsy and their carers. It will set out the basic rights that people with narcolepsy and their carers deserve and should expect.
