Pseudomyxoma Survivor is a charity that was founded by Dawn Green, a patient who was diagnosed with pseudomyxoma peritonei (PMP). After undergoing treatment for the rare cancer, Dawn decided to set up the charity in order to provide support and information to other patients and their families who are affected by the disease.
Dawn’s hard work and dedication paid off when Pseudomyxoma Survivor was officially registered with the Charity Commission in England and Wales, receiving the registered charity number 1143642. This registration is a significant milestone for the charity, as it provides official recognition and validation of the important work that they do.
The registration process involved submitting an application to the Charity Commission, which included details about the charity’s aims, activities, and governance structure. The Commission then reviewed the application to ensure that the charity met the legal requirements for registration, including demonstrating that it is established for exclusively charitable purposes and that its activities provide public benefit.
Dawn expressed her gratitude to everyone who had supported her on her journey so far, and who continues to support the charity. She acknowledged that the registration of Pseudomyxoma Survivor would not have been possible without the help of dedicated volunteers, fundraisers, and supporters.
With its official registration, Pseudomyxoma Survivor can now continue to provide vital support and information to patients and families affected by PMP. The charity’s work includes funding research into the disease, providing support groups and information resources, and raising awareness about the condition. The registration is a testament to the hard work and dedication of Dawn and the team at Pseudomyxoma Survivor, and is a significant step forward in their mission to improve the lives of those affected by PMP.
