Our work would not be possible without their support, in fact we would not be here without volunteers. PWSA UK was established by parents who recognised the need for support for the PWS community and is still governed by volunteer trustees who share the founder’s commitment.

All funds raised from PWS Stronger Together's #MoveItMay campaign will go towards important research into ageing in #PraderWilliSyndrome - an area we still know very little about! Find out more at pwsstrongertogether.co.uk.
More knowledge and understanding of PWS means many people with PWS are living longer,which is fantastic news. The more worrying side is this is a very under-researched area. All money from our #MoveItMay campaign will go to this important research. #pwsstrongertogether #moveitmay
