Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses that ruin and, too often, take lives. We estimate that they affect 1.25 million people in the UK of all ages, genders and backgrounds.

And with your help, we’re determined to ensure everyone gets the support they need and deserve.

Change lives by making a gift to Bowel Research UK in your Will. Leaving a gift in your Will to Bowel Research UK supports our mission to end bowel cancer and bowel disease.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition affecting more than 10,900 people in the UK.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis. Our community will improve care, speak out, support each other and fund vital research as we race towards effective treatments for all. We won’t stop until everyone can live without the limits of cystic fibrosis.

Liver disease is the only major cause of mortality which is on the increase in the UK and last year it killed more people than diabetes and road deaths combined. 1 in 10 of us will suffer from some form of liver disease and the rates are rising.

The National Kidney Federation (NKF) has been representing renal patients for over 45 years and is unique in being the only national charity run by kidney patients for kidney patients.

There are currently an estimated 3.5 million people with early-stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the UK and a further 68,000 with end-stage – meaning they are either on dialysis or have had a kidney transplant.

There are six scientific and clinical posts which the fund has established in the University and NHS Trusts.
