Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that causes sticky mucus in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK.
The Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the only UK-wide charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis (CF). We fund vital research, improve care, and race towards effective treatments for all.
Since 1964, we've supported people with cystic fibrosis to live longer, healthier lives and we won’t stop until everyone can live without limits imposed by CF.
It’s thanks to our incredible supporters, clinicians, researchers, and social workers that over the last 60 years we’ve been able to make vital breakthroughs and discoveries in CF understanding and treatment. Here’s what your money could do:
- £150 could support an individual or family in urgent need with a grant for food and other basic daily essentials.
- £350 could fund one of our health and wellbeing grants, helping those in financial need to buy essential items and services that will help them live well with CF.
- £400 could help make ground-breaking CF research discoveries, funding the materials needed for a day in the lab.
- £7,500 could run our Helpline for a whole month, offering support to the hundreds of people who get in touch with their questions and concerns.
