the sydney driscoll neuro-science foundation
Lancs
The Foundation was started in 1989 with a generous donation from Mrs Lucille
Driscoll in memory of her late husband Sydney, who had been treated in the
Department of Neuroscience at Preston in the 1960s by the first neurosurgeon at
Preston; the late Mr Ken Tutton. She was delighted with the idea that the money
which she had donated would be used to enhance neuroscience education and
research. A Trust Fund was established as a registered charity and is
administered by the Trustees who meet regularly. The late Mr Ken Tutton was one
of the founder members of the Trust. Aims and objectives of the Trust. The aim
is to build upon the Department’s reputation as a centre of excellence in the
field of neuroscience, by continuing to develop and expand the facilities for
education, training and research. These aims and objectives include a
Neuroscience Library, an Annual Neuroscience Lecture, an Annual Neuroscience
Award, support for Conference and Training Courses and funding for relevant
Clinical or Laboratory Research.
