What difference will you make?

As a charity, we are doing more and more events - particularly with medical professionals. When people suspect they have Lyme disease, their first port of call is a health professional...yet their awareness of Lyme disease tends to be low.

Attending these events allow us to present to health professionals (HPs) and educate them on Lyme disease as well as have 1:1 conversations on a stand. At our last conference (May 2025) we did two presentations to ~150 HPs and had 250 1:1 conversations at out stand.
