About the organisation: The organisation is a leading UK charity focused on funding research into the prevention, treatment and management of a long-term health condition. For more than 60 years, the research they fund has been making an impact. However, the condition is increasing, as are the factors contributing to it, making their work more essential than ever. They work with clinicians and scientists across the UK, funding and facilitating research into all areas of the condition. They collaborate with partners across the public, private and third sectors to prevent illness and drive innovation to transform treatments.

Over the last ten years, they have invested significant funding into research. They engage with governments and decision makers to influence policy and practice, helping to ensure that people living with all stages of the condition have access to the most effective care and treatment, and to make it a priority. Most importantly, they work closely with patients, ensuring their voice is heard and is at the centre of everything they do, from deciding which research to invest in to how they plan their priorities and their work across the organisation. Those patient contributions are vital, helping them and their partners to understand lived experiences, ensuring they see the person behind the treatment and reminding them that behind every statistic is an individual – the patients and carers who inspire their mission and drive meaningful progress.
