funding vital research
We’re on a mission to save and change children’s lives through medical research, developing treatments, vaccinations and cures.
Fighting Duchenne
Transform the lives of children born with the life-limiting disease Duchenne muscular dystrophy, by funding urgently needed research that could lead to a new treatment to help fight this devastating condition.
Premature birth and pregnancy complications
Some women experience complications during pregnancy which can involve the mother’s health, the baby’s health or both.
Childhood cancers
In the UK almost 4,000 children and young people under 25 are diagnosed with cancer every year. We are funding research to try and improve the chances and treatment for children with brain tumours and cancer.
