If you've already generously given us a donation this year, thank you and please ignore this message. If you missed our first email and are thinking of donating to a charity this December, please consider supporting PAN UK as we need to raise more funds. Let me explain why…
Pesticides are everywhere - they are in our food as residues and sprayed on our streets, parks and playgrounds. They have been linked to a range of diseases including Parkinson’s, depression and anxiety, and cancer. Recent studies show that 44% of farmers and agricultural workers (385 million people) around the world are poisoned every year. They prop up the unsustainable model of industrial agriculture that is driving biodiversity loss and is one of the biggest emitters of greenhouse gases.
We are a small team of scientists and campaigners, and the only UK charity focused solely on tackling the problems caused by pesticides. Through our work we shine a light on the harms caused by pesticides and find effective solutions that work for farmers and for nature. We need your help to reach decision-makers and counter the propaganda and misinformation of the powerful pesticide industry.
