Recognition for Our Amazing Youth Board!

Recognition for Our Amazing Youth Board!

As 2023 draws to a close, we asked some friends of PANS PANDAS UK to let our wonderful Youth Board know how important their contribution to our work has been. The courage and determination the Youth Board members have shown in standing up for people with PANS and PANDAS is a real inspiration and we cannot thank them enough. We can’t wait to see what they get up to in 2024!
