Our latest appeals
Help to fund vital medical research that can lead to new treatments, cures and medical breakthroughs
We currently have a number of appeals funding groundbreaking research to help the countless families and children affected by premature birth and pregnancy complications, disabilities, and rare and devastating diseases.
One of our most recent appeals aims to raise over £1m to fund research to better understand how COVID-19 affects children.
Covid-19 Children's Research Appeal
Help fund research to better understand how COVID-19 affects children
How does COVID-19 affect our children? The honest answer is that we don’t know exactly. We know that COVID-19 threatens us all in some way, including children, but we don’t know enough.
Other appeals
