PoTS Awareness Day: 25th October
The last six years have seen a growing number of iconic landmarks and buildings ‘Lighting Up in Purple’ across the UK.
On Friday 25th October we saw nearly 70 buildings throughout the UK ‘Lighting Up In Purple’.
During the October 2025 we also:
- Hosted 6 webinars throughout October by our volunteers, sharing their experiences of living with PoTS.
- Joined forces with The HMSA to discuss PoTS, Hypermobility and what we know about the link between them.
- Deborah Bircham from Mast Cell Action, joined us for a webinar – An introduction to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). You can watch all of these webinars here.
- Social media was a hive of activity and our reach and engagement statistics were the highest we’ve ever had!
- Visited Medical Detection Dogs for their PoTS Day
- Shared videos, recorded by you – ‘PoTS Looks Different To Everyone – This Is What It Looks Like To Me.’
- Held a series of webinars by yoga and breathwork teacher Victoria, to help you learn valuable tools to manage the symptoms of PoTS.
- Tested your PoTS knowledge with our fun 10 question quiz.
- We were thrilled when Cat Smith MP secured a 30-minute Westminster Hall debate on 14 October on support for people with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (PoTS). Having worked alongside Cat for several years to campaign for better NHS services for those affected by PoTS, it was particularly rewarding to attend and see this important issue raised in Parliament. Watch the debate here.
Thank you!
A lot of work goes into Awareness Month and the day itself and we couldn’t do it without your support. Thank you to our amazing volunteers and everyone who works tirelessly to make it happen!
Awareness is key and we are already planning ahead for 2026!
Please help us spread the word that October 25th is our day! Let’s all come together and unite the PoTS community on this day each year to help patients be heard and understood by others.
