Charitable foundation

ALK positive lung cancer UK exists to improve both the overall survival and the quality of life of people living with ALK‑positive lung cancer across the United Kingdom.

The charity supports patients and families by:

• Empowering patients with reliable, accessible information to help them hold informed discussions with their healthcare teams
• Advocating for equitable, high‑quality care across the UK, ensuring all patients can access best‑practice treatment pathways
• Campaigning for earlier diagnosis, recognising that timely detection is essential for improving treatment outcomes
• Raising awareness that lung cancer can affect anyone—including non‑smokers—and challenging assumptions that delay recognition of symptoms.

ALK Positive Lung Cancer UK has contributed to public and professional awareness campaigns such as “All You Need is Lungs” and “See Through the Symptoms”, both designed to highlight that lung cancer does not discriminate and to encourage earlier investigation of symptoms.

The Rob Hill Foundation exists to support individuals affected by addiction and mental health challenges. Its mission is to help people overcome the below.

• Substance addictions such as alcohol, drugs, and nicotine
• Behavioural addictions including gambling, overeating, and overspending
• Emotional and psychological difficulties such as anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, fear‑based conditions, and OCD.

The charity places particular emphasis on ensuring access for those who encounter barriers to traditional health services, including individuals receiving benefits or those at risk of, or currently experiencing, homelessness.

To support its mission, the foundation delivers a range of open‑access workshops designed to empower attendees, promote wellbeing, and encourage long‑term recovery pathways.

Cure EB (formerly The Sohana Research Fund) is dedicated to funding pioneering research aimed at developing effective treatments and ultimately a cure for Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB). 

EB is a rare and severe genetic skin disorder that causes extremely fragile skin, painful blistering, and chronic wounds from even the slightest friction.

The charity supports cutting edge medical research, clinical trials, and translational programmes that aim to improve quality of life and long‑term outcomes for individuals living with EB.

Sign Hi Say Hi is a local charity supporting families with children and young people (0–25) who are deaf or have hearing loss. The charity is run by parents, carers, and grandparents, and is affiliated with the National Deaf Children’s Society (NDCS).

They offer regular activity sessions for deaf children and young people, their families, parents, carers, and siblings under 19. Everyone is welcome, regardless of whether they communicate using speech, BSL, Sign Supported English, or other methods. These sessions help bring families together to share information, connect with others, and receive support from people in similar situations.

Many deaf children and young people may be the only deaf person in their school. Sign Hi Say Hi! gives them the opportunity to meet peers their own age who share similar experiences.

The charity also provides informal parent‑to‑parent support for families whose children have recently been identified as deaf.
