Scottish Huntington's Association (SHA) is a Scottish charity that was established by families living with Huntington's disease (HD) in the late 1980s. Experiencing directly the dearth of services available to them, the organisation pursued the goal of setting up specialist family support services and this ultimately blossomed into the development of an extensive network of specialist services.
