Charity Factsheet:
Action Medical Research
Action Medical Research is the UK's most forward thinking charity. We believe diseases and disabilities can be beaten, and through our medical research we are creating a healthier future for everyone.
Action Medical Research is unique. Other medical charities have a single focus - either on a particular disease, or age group, or a specific hospital. Action Medical Research is looking for answers to a wide range of diseases and conditions that affect young and old. We have the broadest research remit of any medical charity which relies on voluntary support.
We played a crucial role in developing the polio vaccine in the UK, ultrasound scanning in pregnancy, hip replacement surgery and more.
Touching Tiny Lives is the charity's major campaign to help sick and vulnerable babies. We aim to raise £3 million for vital new research to help prevent premature birth and life-threatening pregnancy complications.
