Make a donation

APS Support UK is funded entirely from voluntary donations from individuals, trusts, foundations, and companies. We do not receive any government funding of any kind.

Only with the help and generosity of our donors, supporters and volunteers can we continue our vital work. This includes raising awareness of APS, helping people achieve an earlier diagnosis, improving the treatment of people with the condition and funding research to help save lives.

Any donation – however small – that you make to our charity will really help us to carry out these goals, so please make a difference and donate today.

Gift Aid

Please note that we can only claim tax on donations from personal banks or building society accounts. We cannot claim Gift Aid on donations made from company accounts.

 

Gift Aid is a government scheme that enables charities to claim the basic rate tax made on donations. This means that we can currently increase your donation by 25%, and it won’t cost you a penny more! So if you are a UK taxpayer, please remember to choose the Gift Aid option so your donation can go even further.

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!
