If you have already donated to our fundraising campaign, we send you a huge thank you! We really do appreciate it and it makes a big difference. If you are unable to donate we completely understand, there are many other ways to support our work. However, if you missed our previous email and are in a position to give financially, we would love to hit our target so please do consider supporting PAN UK this year. We wish you a happy and peaceful holiday and we'll be back to continue the fight for a pesticide-free world in 2022.
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.
