People like you have already helped us to achieve amazing things. Action Medical Research has been instrumental in pushing forward important medical discoveries since 1952.

Now you can help us do more

Today, it is still our unceasing determination to improve the health and quality of life of every living person. With your help, we aim to consign many more diseases and conditions to the pages of history. You can help us achieve so much more when you become an Action Partner. Action Partners can donate to three programme areas.

1. Touching Tiny Lives

You can help save the lives of tiny babies. Tragically over 3000 babies in the UK die within their first year and many more are left permanently disabled – premature birth is the single biggest cause. Read more about our Touching Tiny Lives campaign.

2. Stopping Suffering in Children

You could stop children suffering from years of
excruciating pain in the funding of innovative therapies for those whose lives are blighted by movement problems.Your support could also back vital research into preventing childhood blindness.

3. Preventing the Pain of Chronic Conditions

You can help prevent the pain of chronic conditions such as Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, stroke, diabetes and Parkinson’s. Your commitment will help fund research to discover effective treatments for these unsolved medical problems, and improve life for millions of people.

What does becoming an Action Partner really mean?

Becoming an Action Partner, either as an individual or corporate sponsor, means you will have a direct impact on the success of one of these three areas of our research programme.You’ll become a real partner to the medical breakthroughs we’re aiming for within each group. In return, we ask you to pledge a minimum of £5,000 every year for three years, which by taking advantage of tax benefits actually costs you around £4000. This helps us to focus funds as and where they are needed. Of course, the more you can donate, the more we can do. If you would like your donations to go to a particular area of work, we’d be happy to discuss this with you.

Each programme has been chosen because important advances have already been made, both in research and in working towards effective treatments. With your help we can drive these programmes to the next stage, and help make major medical breakthroughs a reality.

As an Action Partner, you’ll be kept up to date
with the latest developments in the medical work you are
funding. We can offer you newsletters and
E-newsletters providing feedback on the programmes,
plus exclusive reports and updates on each specific
project area and its progress.

“We are proud to be founding Action Partners supporting vital research to prevent the pain of chronic conditions. We hope that our donations will mean that we will be there at the next breakthrough”
Peter Little & Louise Cartledge, Action Partners
