Our Support Gift Bags are designed to bring comfort to those who are newly diagnosed with Paget’s Disease of Bone. Individuals may be distressed by their diagnosis and worried about the future. Whilst we can provide information, answer questions, we wanted to do something extra. Our Paget’s Support Gift Bag provides extra support when it is needed most and brighten the day of those suffering emotionally and/or physically. It is a little bag of kindness during a difficult time. Will you help us provide them?

The North West Remains a Hotspot for Paget's Disease
Recently published research supported by the Paget’s Association has shown that the North West of England remains a hotspot for Paget’s Disease of Bone. Paget’s disease is a debilitating and underdiagnosed condition involving excessive breakdown and formation of bone, resulting in weakened bones, and often pain and deformity. The disease is thought to be caused by a combination of both genetic and environmental factors, but how the local environment is involved has remained a mystery.
The Paget's Association strives to educate patients, health professionals, and the public about Paget's Disease of Bone.
Applications are now invited for the Paget's Association's Educational Award, aimed at enhancing the education of health care professionals, patients, carers and the public about Paget’s Disease of Bone. Applications are welcome from UK-based individuals, at all levels.
The Paget's Association funds research into various aspects of Paget's Disease of Bone. ***APPLICATIONS FOR 2022 HAVE NOW CLOSED***
The closing date for all award applications wasTuesday 25th January 2022, 23:59 GMT.
