About PANS PANDAS Scotland
PANS PANDAS Scotland was founded as a not -for -profit organisation in October 2025. Our purpose is to support the community affected by PANS and PANDAS in Scotland through raising awareness, sharing information and providing opportunities for the community to connect.
It is our goal to become a registered Charity in Scotland - you can read our progress towards this goal in the blog!
