PoTS UK are excited to be announcing our new annual fundraising event that will be taking place on Saturday 18th May across the UK. Get together with family and friends and 'Walk and Talk for PoTS'.

The details:


  • On the 18th May, arrange your own fundraising and awareness walk with friends or family.
  • Decide your own distance - this could be a walk around your garden or a 20 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 here: https://www.justgiving.com/potsuk
  • 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 2023 from our shop.

Please watch our YouTube video for all the details.

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 IN AND LET'S WALK AND TALK FOR PoTS!!!! We can't wait to hear your plans!

**** We know for some of you, this challenge 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!****

Frequently asked questions

Are you having any organised locations where I can meet with others who may be doing a walk?

No - not this year. We may look to do this in future years but for 2024, please choose your own location!

Do I have to buy a fundraising pack?

Absolutely not! The fundraising pack will be available for a small cost and include a PoTS UK t-shirt and balloons etc. There will be plenty of free downloadable resources if you don't want to purchase one.

I would like to do it but I don't think I'll raise very much money. Is that ok?

Of course. We are grateful for any funds raised, no matter how small. This is very much dual purpose and we want to raise awareness just as much as we want to raise funds! So get involved and talk to anyone who will listen about PoTS.

I can't take part but would like to donate to PoTS UK. How do I do this?

Thank you SO much. We are truly grateful for every donation. Please donate via our website: https://www.potsuk.org/donate/

I'd love to take part but I can't do the 18th May. Can I still get involved.

Of course. Whilst it will be lovely to see lots of people out and about on the same day, fundraising and raising awareness, you don't need to be restricted by the date. Set a date that works for you!
