About Us

Since 1992 we’ve been funding the work that the NHS can’t – cutting edge research that leads to sight-saving, life-changing discoveries. We fund the initial cash injection that takes an idea into the first stages of research, often creating the crucial evidence that’s needed to attract further funding to scale up projects. We have a history of making a little go a long way and our work often has a national and international impact.

We’re registered as part of the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust Charitable Funds (charity number 1047988), and are managed as a special purpose fund by its Management Committee, within the umbrella of the Charitable Funds Committee of the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust.

Take a look at what we’re working on.

We’re lead by people who have vast clinical, research and charitable experience, from leading clinicians to award-winning academics, our team make sure that the money we receive is invested into the right place.
