Give in celebration

Getting married?

Thank your guests for celebrating your wedding by making a donation in place of a wedding favour or gift bag.

For couples who wish to donate to APS Support UK in lieu of wedding favours, we can supply you with sleek table celebration cards for your guests. Please contact us and let us know how many you require for your big day – we’ll be happy to send some out to you.

As the name suggests, these cards are not just limited to weddings and can be used at any occasion you choose.

Celebrating a birthday or anniversary?

Make a lasting contribution to our charity when you celebrate your next special occasion by asking for donations instead of gifts.

Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, wedding, anniversary, new baby or any other special occasion, why not consider asking your friends and family to make a donation towards APS Support UK instead of buying you a gift?

In a few simple steps you can set up your own fundraising page and invite your friends and family to make a donation. Don’t forget to set a target and tell people why you’re supporting us. Add some photos to your page too!

Alternatively, you can collect any donations, pay them into your bank account and send them to us via an online donation or by BACS. We still also accept cheques: please send them to us made payable to:

APS Support UK
The Orchard
White Hart Lane

To give in celebration is an inspiring way for friends and family to mark your special occasion, help our life-saving work and raise awareness of APS. Thank you!

Diagnosis and treatment

APS is usually diagnosed from a combination of a positive blood test and symptoms. If you are under 50 and have suffered a thrombosis, or have had more than one pregnancy loss, you should discuss with your doctor whether you need blood tests.

Related conditions

Some people with APS will also have other autoimmune conditions, as may their family members. APS has been linked with many other autoimmune conditions, including rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, Raynaud’s phenomenon, and Sjögren’s syndrome.

Newly diagnosed

Receiving a new diagnosis of APS can be frightening, and no doubt you will want to know exactly what APS is. Following this, you will likely have a great many more questions to ask about the condition and how it can affect you. We are here to help!
