Turas Neuro Support is a lived-experience-led organisation supporting people navigating neurological and neurosurgical conditions through guidance, community and understanding.
Our story
A little about Turas
Turas was created after recognising how difficult life can feel beyond hospital treatment. After more than 70 surgeries linked to neurological and neurosurgical conditions, it became clear how many people are left navigating recovery, wellbeing and everyday life without enough support or understanding.
Turas exists to help bridge that gap — through honest guidance, shared experience and supportive community.
