Why Join Us?

24/7 Support & Information

As a member of SWAN UK you can:

  • Make contact with other families who understand the unique challenges of raising a child affected by an undiagnosed genetic condition
  • Attend free fun events for all the family, like our growing number of local stay and play sessions or regional day trips to theme parks such as Peppa Pig World and Flamingoland
  • Access 24/7 information and support from our online forums
  • Get opportunities to help raise awareness by speaking at events, sharing your story or even coming to Westminster with us to talk to MPs about the issues affecting your family
  • Develop your own personal and professional skills by volunteering as a SWAN UK Parent Rep

We’ll also send your child balloons when they are in hospital to cheer them up.

‘Without a diagnosis there was no place for me in groups/organisations for diagnosed conditions and syndromes. It is important for me to have somewhere where we are all ‘in the same boat’ even though our children have varying needs and difficulties.’  SWAN UK Member

Membership is free for any family affected by a syndrome without a name living in the UK.
