Our new informal get-togethers are a chance to connect with others affected by PH in a welcoming and relaxed environment.
Small and friendly gatherings are planned at the PHA UK office space in Sheffield at key points during 2025, with the first taking place on Friday 11th April (additional dates TBC).
**Our 11th April event has now reached capacity; thank you to everyone who has told us they would like to come. Due to space restrictions, places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis and we will contact you before the end of February to let you know whether your registration was successful**
Tea & Talk events are designed to be relaxed and informal, with a focus on getting to know each other and enjoying brews, bakes, and plenty of chat.
As a rare disease, we understand that PH can be isolating. Whilst our online forums are extremely valuable, we want to help people to connect face-to-face too. Get to know each other, and the PHA UK team, in a friendly and welcoming space.
Tea & Talk will take place on Friday 11th April from 11am until 3pm, and you can drop-in at any point between these times. Refreshments and a buffet lunch will be provided.
The event will be held at the PHA UK Resource Centre, Sheffield, S35 2PH. We are based just off the M1, and there are parking spaces available directly outside the building. We have an accessible entrance and a ground-floor, accessible toilet.
The event is open to anyone living in the UK who is affected by PH. It is hosted exclusively by the PHA UK and you do not have to be under the care of the specialist centre in Sheffield to attend. All we ask is that you are a member of the PHA UK (it’s totally free to join and you can do so here).
You may bring one person with you if you wish, such as a family member, caregiver, or friend.
Please note that due to space restrictions, we can accommodate a maximum of 16 people for these gatherings. Places will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis.
Our Tea & Talk events are completely free and include refreshments and a buffet lunch. We understand that travel costs can be expensive, and we do not want to limit who can benefit from these events because of this. Therefore, we are able to subsidise travel expenses (such as fuel or train tickets) up to £50.
If you choose to travel a long way and wish to book overnight accommodation, this will be at your own expense, but we can suggest comfortable and cost-effective hotels in the locality.
Please register your interest in attending the gathering on 11th April using this form, before Monday 25th February.

Subject to demand, we plan to hold these events regularly throughout the year. The frequency and dates are yet to be determined, but keep an eye out for details.
