Chairperson’s Report
A message from our Chair
I have been involved with PoTS UK since 2010 and chairperson since July 2016. I remain committed to reaching our vision of ‘optimising the health and quality of life of everyone impacted by PoTS’. I know this will take time, but we are making significant strides forwards and we are very grateful to have a committed and passionate community at our side.
2023-24 was a busy and successful year for PoTS UK. The development of our 3- year strategy has allowed us to be clear in our goals and structured with the work we undertake.
On behalf of myself and fellow trustees, I would like to offer our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has fundraised or donated. 2023/24 is a record year for the charity in terms of income and we are always amazed by the generosity, determination, and support. Our charity would not exist without these incredible efforts.
There are so many highlights from the past year, but I would like to pay particular attention to the following:
Thanks to the support of our community with our parliamentary campaign , we managed to reach over 250 MPs throughout the UK and started to make some noise where it's needed. Alongside this, we also contacted every health board or equivalent in Scotland, England, Northern Ireland and Wales to explain what PoTS is and ask about the services they provide. The change of government following the General Election meant our plans needed to be put on hold but we are relaunching this campaign in January 2025.
I am extremely proud of our Peer Support Groups that have been running for almost 3 years now. Our team of volunteers has grown considerably throughout 2023/24 and they are committed, caring and compassionate. The success of these groups lies with them. The feedback we receive is wonderful and we will continue to invest in training and support to ensure these groups thrive.
Updating our website is a critical part of the work we do and we are accredited by the Patient Information Forum as being Trusted Information Creators. We have worked hard this year to keep the information up to date and this is an ongoing process. Thank you to everyone who volunteers their time to review the latest literature and update the pages accordingly. This takes considerable amounts of time, but we think it is essential that the information we are sharing is as evidence based, contemporary and as helpful as possible.
Teaching and education is an essential part of what PoTS UK do. It is always fantastic to have the opportunity to raise awareness with healthcare professionals and we encourage trusts and health boards to reach out to us to deliver this important education. Thank you to those who welcomed us this year and we hope you have been able to put this training in to practice.
Support for individuals . It has been a pleasure to welcome a team of specialist PoTS nurses who commit their time to answering queries that we receive via email. They are a huge asset to our team.
Awareness Day on 25[th] October is growing year on year and I took great pride in seeing over 80 buildings in the UK light up purple in 2023. Edinburgh Castle looked particularly magical. A lot of thought and work goes into Awareness Month and the day itself and I would like to thank everyone who is involved in its success.
I would like to thank our administrative team who are all passionate about this charity, and work well beyond the expectations of any employer. I would also like to thank my fellow trustees who are committed and wise and share in the challenges and successes of PoTS UK. All of our volunteers play an enormous role in the success of our charity, and I am constantly amazed and grateful for everything they do. PoTS UK is a team effort, and I am privileged to be part of it.
I look forward to the year ahead and feel confident it will be a positive year for the charity following our strategy and being ever mindful of our mission, vision, and values.
The annual report includes further information on the financials aspects, further achievements and a look ahead to the next year.

Structure, Governance, and Management
PoTS UK is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation as of January 2015, constituted from that date and is governed by the Charity’s constitution.
Organisational Structure:
The Charity is run by five trustees who are healthcare professionals, patients or carers of people affected by PoTS. Trustees are elected by mutual agreement by all other trustees and remain in post for a minimum of three years.

In November 2023, the charity employed its 3[rd] member of staff (making up just over 1FTE) increasing the capability and capacity within the busy administrative team.
