Chairperson’s Report
A message from our Chair
As I approach my 10[th] year as chairperson for PoTS UK, it is a pleasure to reflect on the changes, successes and challenges the charity has faced since it started in 2010.
Having developed our 3-year strategy in 2023-24, this year has been clearly focussed on forging ahead with our aims and goals. 2024-25 has been as busy as ever and we are proud of our achievements. As always, my primary thanks must go to our wonderful community who support us in so many ways. It has been another successful year for fundraising and we extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has fundraised or donated. We hosted our first PoTS UK celebration event in February 2025, and it was a joy to join together staff, fundraisers, medical advisors and volunteers to celebrate the positive impact they have on our charity.
There are many highlights from the past year, but I would like to pay particular attention to the following:
Parliamentary Campaign - Compared to this time last year, we feel the awareness of PoTS within UK governments and the NHS has increased significantly and ultimately, this will lead to positive change. In what must be our best team effort to date, the PoTS community came together in their support for our parliamentary campaign and managed to reach out via email to 575 of 650 MPs. In total, 2295 emails were sent, and we were delighted to be told by one MP that he has never received so many emails on one topic. This is something to be proud of and shows the strength in numbers! We must all play our part.
It was a pleasure to visit Portcullis House alongside a team of trustees, nurse specialists, consultants and staff to meet MPs to discuss inequitable access to healthcare for people with PoTS. MPs were given clear actions to take away and we are very grateful to those MPs who have shown interest and support.
Communications and responses from the Department of Health and Social Care are inaccurate, unhelpful and lacking in any guaranteed action. It mirrors the poor response to the January GOV.UK petition. Despite requesting a meeting, the DHSC has refused to meet with us due to time constraints. We will continue to respond and challenge them. I must say a special thank you to Sophie West who launched the petition and has shown such determination and strength in pushing it forward.
In July 2022, Jane Clarke initiated a petition to the Scottish Parliament requesting better services for people with dysautonomia. We have been working with Jane and Chest Heart Stroke Scotland to challenge the Scottish Government and NHS Scotland’s false claims that there are high quality services and national guidelines available. This work is ongoing. All responses to date can be found here: https://petitions.parliament.scot/petitions/PE1952 or https://www.parliament.scot/get-involved/petitions/view-petitions/pe1952-specialist-servicesfor-patients-with-autonomic-dysfunction
As health is a devolved matter in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland we need to ensure we are reaching out to the Members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs), Members of the Senedd (MSs) and Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs). This will form part of our work in 2025/26.
We are forever reminded that our challenges are a marathon, not a sprint and this could not be truer than in the case of improving services. We know changes won’t happen overnight but there has been a palpable shift in awareness and strides are being taken in the right direction.
Training Event for Healthcare Professionals – In March 2024, we were delighted to host a hybrid educational training event, attended by over 300 nurses and healthcare professionals to learn more about Autonomic Dysfunction including diagnosis, management and treatment. It is always fantastic to have the opportunity to raise awareness and knowledge amongst healthcare professionals and we continue to encourage trusts, ICBs and health boards to reach out to us to deliver this important education.
National PoTS guidelines would improve awareness, understanding of PoTS, and access to healthcare. It was a pleasure to meet with a team of PoTS experts in October 2024 to drive this forward and we hope that 2025/26 will show significant progress in this area.
I remain very proud of our Peer Support Group programme that have been running for almost 4 years now. Our team of volunteers has grown again throughout 2024/25, and they are committed, caring and compassionate. They dedicate time to not only run the groups but also to review and reflect on what changes could be made to improve them. We have been pleased to answer requests for topic groups on Neurodiversity, LGBTQIA+, and living with PoTS over the age of 50. The groups are diverse, inclusive and safe spaces. I encourage everyone to attend and see how our hosts can put you at ease and make the group work for your needs.
As always, I extend my thanks to our administrative team and my fellow trustees who all share the same passion, drive and determination. 2024/25 has welcomed lots of new volunteers and I am grateful for the role played by each individual.
I look forward to the year ahead. We are working towards holding an educational Masterclass in 2026, bringing together our community at a patient event and continuing to push our parliamentary campaign in order to improve services.
Raising awareness is at the heart of what we do and what we need to achieve. I urge everyone to reflect on what part they can play and not to underestimate the value in sharing social media posts, sharing your story and answering surveys to help us grow our pool of data that is an invaluable resource.
The annual report includes further information on the financials aspects, further achievements and a look ahead to the next year.

Achievements and Performance
-
Our ‘What is PoTS?’ video that launched on 1[st] October 2024 has had almost 50,000 views on YouTube and huge interaction on social media. This has been our most successful video to date.
-
We have continued to run and develop online peer support groups, offering at least 10 each month. We have additional monthly topic groups including ~~: n~~ eurodiversity, LGBTQIA+, periods and menopause.
-
Awareness Day/Month 2024 – this included over 60 buildings across the UK lighting up purple, a daily yoga challenge and a surge in social media engagement through #31waystogetinvolved.
-
GOV. UK petition published in January 2025 (with thanks to Sophie West). This has achieved over 17,000 signatures to date
-
UK Parliamentary Campaign – use of campaigning software to reach large volumes of MPs, visit to Portcullis House and communications ongoing with the Department of Health and Social Care
-
Since 2022 we have been pleased to support an ongoing petition to the Scottish Parliament for improved access to healthcare for people with dysautonomia, including PoTS and continue to work on this.
-
Teaching/Education – ran a hybrid training event for over 300 healthcare professionals on Autonomic Dysfunction. Also ran independent training sessions across the country.
-
Expanded our team of volunteers who help with a range of tasks including peer support, social media, and email enquiries.
-
Held our first celebration event to recognise our team of medical advisors, volunteers and fundraisers.
-
In association with the universities of Coventry and Warwick, we initiated a large-scale survey of adults with PoTS which we continue to analyse and process.
-
Fundraising events – Yoga Challenge during Awareness Month and new annual fundraiser ‘Walk and Talk for PoTS’.
-
Development of new web pages and comprehensive update of pages older than 3 years in line with PIF guidelines – this remains an ongoing project.
-
Service provision project launched November 2023, and is ongoing. Freedom of Information Requests were circulated to all NHS commissioning organisations and acute trusts in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. They reported that there are no established care pathways or formally commissioned services in place for people diagnosed with PoTS. There is limited specialist service provision available to patients with PoTS (21 trusts) across England, and no service provision generally available in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, which is extraordinary for such a common, complex and disabling condition. Service provision for children is especially poor. We intend to use this information, alongside an Access to Services Survey to show the true picture that people with PoTS are facing when trying to access care. Reaching out to Integrated Care Boards/Trusts is likely to be our next step forward.
-
The board made the decision made not to proceed further with the development of the PoTS App as it didn’t meet the needs of our target audience.
-
Completed comprehensive Digital Strategy Review in order to help us grow our online presence.
Impact and Outcomes
-
Significant increase in awareness within Government through campaigning and the petition.
-
Live education offered to hundreds of healthcare professionals with video content available online for catch up
-
We have a growing team of volunteers who offer a diverse range of skills and experience which enhances the support we can offer to our community.
-
Social media analysis shows increased presence
-
Greater support available to our community through peer support groups.
Looking ahead - Plans for 2025/26

A patient retreat/ social get-together
-
Investment in our volunteers through training and team building

-
Training Event for Healthcare Professionals

Freedom of Information project
-
Staff wages
-
Continuous management and maintenance of the online peer support groups.

Reserves Policy
The trustees have established a reserves policy to maintain a level of unrestricted funds equivalent to 1-year of operational expenditure, approximately £45,000. This ensures that the charity can continue its activities in the event of unforeseen financial difficulties. This reserves policy will be reviewed annually at the AGM to ensure the amount remains suitable and
considers any changes within the charity. At the AGM in January 2024, trustees agreed to move a further £20,000 into the reserves account to take in to account rising costs and increase in staff.
The outlook for PoTS UK remains positive and careful management of funds will continue to be essential to ensure that the Charity remains in a healthy position.
Statement of Trustees’ Responsibilities
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and the financial statements in accordance with applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards.
