YTD Raised: £0.00
(UK, 1170369a) The Leeds Teaching Hospitals Charitable Foundation is launching a new Brain Research Appeal in January 2014 to raise £2million by 2015. The fundraising appeal will create a world-class Yorkshire Brain Research Centre to help tackle life-limiting brain conditions, including Parkinson’s disease, epilepsy, multiple sclerosis and dementia. Currently 1 in 6 adults suffer from diseases of the brain and there is an expectation that with an ageing population brain conditions will be a ticking time bomb. Professor Selby who helped write the case for the new Yorkshire Brain Research Centre said, “As the population gets older, there will be a significant increase in brain conditions in Yorkshire in the near future. To have a centre of excellence for brain research at Leeds means that patients do not have to travel out of the County. The Centre will conduct research for patient benefit and will help Yorkshire scientists find new treatments and drug therapies as well as conduct clinical trials.” Dr Helen Ford, Consultant Neurologist said “This is an exciting time for brain research with many new discoveries in treatments for neurological conditions. The Yorkshire Brain Research Centre will help attract the very best clinicians from around the world to train and study at Leeds and grow a strong neurosciences community for the benefit of patients in Yorkshire and beyond.” The Yorkshire Brain Research Centre will mean we will have better diagnosis, better treatment and better outcomes for patients in Yorkshire.

YTD Raised: £0.00The Ulysses Trust, Patron HRH the Prince of Wales, is a UK-based charity that provides financial and other assistance to the country’s Cadets and Volunteer Reserves to undertake physically and mentally challenging projects both at home and overseas. Our support for Cadet and Reservist adventurous training may involve expeditions which are adventurous or community-related in nature, which expand the horizons and add to the personal development of those taking part. The Ulysses Trust is a volunteer-run organisation, led by individuals with their own extensive experience of such activities and of the profound impact they can have for those who might otherwise never have such opportunities. There are 130,000 cadets in the UK, and in a recent survey, 70% stated that adventurous training was the highlight of their Cadet experience. Other research has also shown that for some young people from disadvantaged environments, joining a cadet unit was what gave them a route to becoming fully contributing members of society. In almost 20 years, support from the Ulysses Trust has helped make a difference to over 20,000 young lives.
