Walk and Talk for PoTS – Get the date in your diary and start planning now!

PoTS UK are excited to be announcing our new annual fundraising event, taking place on Saturday 18th May across the UK.

Get together with family or friends and ‘Walk and Talk for PoTS’.

Jo, our Charity Manager has recorded a short video with all the details.

The details:

On the 18th May, arrange your own fundraising and awareness walk with friends or family. Sign up here so we can let others know if you are walking in the same area.
Decide your own distance – Be it a walk around your garden or a 30 mile hike, it’s all about joining forces, community spirit and RAISING AWARENESS.
Decide your own location. In the future, we may try and arrange specific meeting points across the UK for those who want to join together but for 2024, please decide your own location.
Set up your JustGiving page.
Purchase your fundraising pack which includes a PoTS UK t-shirt, balloons to carry as you go so no one can miss you, template emails to send to local media/radio and lots more to help make your event fantastic! These packs will be available to purchase on 1st March from our shop.

On the day:

Dress in as much purple as possible and get walking and talking. Lets raise both funds and AWARENESS.
Share your photos on social media using #WalkandTalkforPoTS
Win prizes for best photos
As a thank you for fundraising, we will be sending small PoTS UK merchandise bundles to everyone who sets up a JustGiving page. The more money you raise, the bigger the bundle! More details to follow!

So what are you waiting for, on Saturday 18th May,

JOIN US AND LET’S WALK AND TALK PoTS!!

We can’t wait to hear your plans!

We know for some of you, this may not be possible but why not see if your friends and family will represent you. You could be waiting at the end of the walk for them to cheer them on/join them in your wheelchair or do just the amount you can manage! We understand that everyone’s circumstances are different so adapt this fundraiser to suit your needs!
