Support Us

We launched this site in February 1996 to provide information about post-polio syndrome. For us, this illness causes significant problems and one way of coping with it is to have the facility to exchange details of our problems and coping strategies with other people who are similarly affected. Polio Survivors Network is run mainly by volunteers, the majority of whom are polio survivors with post-polio syndrome. We employ part-time staff for administration. We need your help to continue to maintain our services. If you have found the information on this site useful please consider supporting us by making a donation which will be gratefully received.
