Community Events

Regional Support Groups

PANS and PANDAS can be really isolating. Why not pop along and meet other families for a cuppa and a chat?

Currently, we meet in:
Scotland, the Northeast, Yorkshire, Staffordshire and Cornwall.

You can find dates, times and venues on our Events Calendar.

We are always looking to set up more in-person groups. If you are interested in setting one up near you, please get in touch with our wonderful Community Champion, Helen, and she will help you every step of the way.
