Our plans for your donations:

We hope to raise £24,000 which will enable us to deliver a targeted education and awareness campaign for GPs and primary care practitioners and healthcare professionals including paediatric and CAMHS teams. We also hope to use these funds to provide even more educator training and resources!

Improving GP and CAMHS Awareness

Families of children with PANS or PANDAS often face delays in diagnosis due to low awareness amongst GPs and CAMHS. This project will involve awareness campaigns designed to increase understanding among healthcare professionals. We believe this will lead to earlier recognition, better support, and improved outcomes for affected children and their families.

Who are Big Give?

Big Give support charities to make an even bigger difference, asking philanthropists, foundations and businesses to match funds raised by small charities like ours.

Any questions?

If you have any questions about our Big Give Christmas Challenge or how to support us beyond this campaign, or you’d like to discuss how your donation will be used, please contact Lynn, our Fundraising Lead: fundraising@panspandasuk.org.
