In this captivating episode of the Level Playing Field Podcast, your host, Level Playing Field, Fans Liaison Officer, Liam, turns the spotlight onto an often misunderstood disability – Tourette's syndrome.

Guiding us through this exploration is Ione, a person with firsthand experience of Tourette's. But Ione's contribution goes beyond her personal journey; as the Advocacy Lead for Tourettes Action, she's at the forefront of advancing support and research for people with Tourette's in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

Joining Ione is also Neve, who shares her experiences of navigating life with Tourette's. Joining Neve is her mother, Vicky, who also holds a post at Staffordshire FA.

Lastly, we also have Ed join the conversation, shedding light on his experience living with Tourette's and communicating through British Sign Language (BSL). Ed's mother, Liz, is on hand to ensure that Ed's thoughts and feelings are accurately conveyed to our audience.
