What's this? 

Artist and thyroid patient, Vicky Roden, has created this fun video workshop to show you how to make fondant thyroids as a special treat for World Thyroid Day 2021! 

If you're holding a get together with friends or family, perhaps you could make these - they're sure to be a great talking point! If you've got children in your life we bet they'd love to get involved. Fun things can be a great way to start conversations about thyroid disease that you might not otherwise have. So that's why we like to share fun things as well as all the serious stuff that we do. It's intentional, it's what the big charities for other more well known conditions do all the time, because when you can make people smile, it can help build understanding and support and thyroid patients need all the understanding and support we can get.

Read Vicky's story and watch another video, where she shares her experience of being very unwell with hyperthyroidism and going on to work with researchers at the University of Birmingham on a fascinating project at the intersection between art and science - on her guest post in our Thyroid Friends Blog

You can also join Vicky at an online Creative Thyroid Cafe on 7th June 2021- where we can all talk about creative activities that can be good to practice for our wellbeing and/or that can help raise awareness of thyroid disease!

We are a tiny little charity, still very new, with a massive challenge - working to make things better for thyroid patients. If Vicky's video has made you smile - please support us!
