Leave a Legacy to Advance Mental Health Research
We’re dedicated to building a future where no one faces mental illness alone, where conditions can be prevented, detected early and effectively treated.
One in four of us will experience a mental illness or brain disorder in our lifetime. Conditions such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s affect not only individuals, but also their families and communities. Yet mental illness accounts for 21% of England’s disease burden, while receiving just 6% of UK health research funding. That gap is where we come in.
The Psychiatry Research Trust raises funds for cutting-edge research into mental illness and brain disorders at King’s College London and its associated NHS Foundation Trusts, including South London and Maudsley NHS Foundation Trust. Our unique position at the intersection of academia and the NHS means new findings move quickly from the laboratory to the bedside, reaching the people who need them most.
Over the past 10 years, we have awarded £2.6 million in research grants, supporting more than 60 projects and early-career researchers. These grants help scientists and clinicians investigate promising ideas, advance vital discoveries and develop the next generation of mental health research leaders.
Gifts in Wills make this work possible. Legacies fund the grants and fellowships that allow researchers to find new ways to understand, prevent and treat mental illness. By remembering the Psychiatry Research Trust in your Will, you can help ensure this research continues for generations to come.
