About PIP-UK. PIP-UK is a registered charity. Our activities include 121 engagements with individuals and families so we work directly with those affected.  We also host community events that bring those affected together. We also run advocacy & wellbeing services and clinics with health care professionals to encourage their involvement.  

There are no specialist doctors for PS, so for our community this means diagnosis & treatment is difficult. Parents are accused of mistreating a child when shoulders are hypermobile, teenagers go through years of torment, and adults live with debilitating mental health issues due to a lifetime of hiding their bodies.  Our work is about supporting this marginalised community and for them to be treated equally against other disabilities, raise awareness and connect the community.

Poland Syndrome is rare limb difference you are born with, the body is affected on one side where muscles, bones or organs are absent or underdeveloped.
