Event for young people with PoTS and their families

We are delighted to announce that Historic Royal Palaces has kindly offered PoTS UK an amazing free day out at Hampton Court Palace for young people living with PoTS and their families.

This would be an opportunity to meet others who are facing the same challenges and build a community with people who understand.

The format of the day is to be confirmed but there would be age appropriate activities put on for the young people to enjoy and an opportunity for parents to be together and chat.

Alongside this, there would be time to explore the beautiful Palace and Gardens.

Before we commit to a date, we need to determine level of interest and kindly ask for you to complete the questions below so we can start to plan how the day will look.

This is a wonderful opportunity for us to get together and we hope to see lots of young people and their families there.

IMPORTANT:
This event is for children/young people living with PoTS under the age of 18 ONLY plus their families.
This is a free event but you would be responsible for getting to/home from the event. Travel expenses are not covered.
Drinks and ice creams will be provided but a packed lunch will be required.
The activities available will depend on the age of the children/young people attending.
Once we have a definite date and an idea of numbers, we will contact you again.
Whilst there are no definite plans, we would envisage the day starting at 10.30am to allow time for people to travel that morning.
The event will be tailored to the needs of your child as much as possible and we would be in contact beforehand to discuss this further.
