about the hub

The Hub is a free toolkit developed in partnership by The Ehlers-Danlos Support UK and The HMSA with contributions from volunteers with experience in education – Jane Green, Suzanne Webster and Kerstin Holm. It aims to help school staff to provide appropriate support to pupils with any type of EDS or HSD.

The Ehlers-Danlos Support UK is the only national charity providing support anybody touched by all types of the Ehlers-Danlos syndromes (EDS) and hypermobility spectrum disorders. (HSD).

The HMSA supports hypermobile people and the professionals who work with them.
