HSP Support Group

Welcome to the Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia Support Group. The group helps people diagnosed with Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia (HSP). We are a UK based charity, Registered in England and Wales. Our group was started as a 'self-help' group in 1989 by Stephanie Wyatt to support her affected husband and son. Today we have nearly 400 members, but are always trying to reach more people affected by the condition. So, whether you have HSP, love someone with HSP or are searching for information about a diagnosis, don’t face it alone, join the HSP Support Group today for help, support and practical advice on living with HSP.
