Joint letter to the Director for Poverty, Housing and Disadvantage at the Department of Work and Pensions

Building on the momentum created by the Westminster debate, supporters across Scotland and Wales took part in our Make May Matter campaigns, ensuring that the voices of people living with EDS and HSD continued to be heard by decision-makers across the UK. In Scotland, more than 225 supporters sent 1,316 emails, ensuring that 92% of MSPs (119 of 129) heard directly from constituents about the urgent need for better diagnosis, professional education and pathways of care for people with EDS and HSD. In Wales, supporters sent 414 emails and achieved something remarkable: every single Member of the Senedd received campaign correspondence, calling for the publication of the NHS Wales primary care pathway for EDS and HSD, which EDS UK helped to develop in collaboration with NHS Wales. 

From 22nd - 29th June 2026, EDS UK will be taking part in the Small Charity Week campaign – and we need your help to reach our £20,000 fundraising target.

The EDS UK GP Toolkit has been adapted into a new Medscape Guideline Summary on Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorder (HSD).

Invite your MP to come and meet EDS UK and healthcare experts on the 8th December
