Cathedral Tower lit orange for Batten Disease Awareness Day

Monday 5 June - Monday 12 June

Batten Disease causes a complete loss of skills such as sight and mobility and brings on early dementia in children as young as 4 years old.

 There is sadly no cure but the organisation the BDFA (Batten Disease Family Association) exists to support the many families living in the UK with children facing this daily and continues to fight towards a cure.

One such family is Gloucester based and they would love your support in raising awareness by wearing orange. At Gloucester Cathedral, we will once again be lighting the Cathedral tower orange to show our support for this important cause.

Please support Joshua and his family on Friday 9 June, which is Batten Disease Awareness Day. Thank you.

    The Cathedral is located in Gloucester Town Centre, so the best way to get here is by public transport.
