We help to fund early-stage neurological research in Scotland.

Our goal is to help patients who have injured or developed diseases of their brain or nervous system.

Funding early-stage neurological research in Scotland

1. Glioblastoma (a type of brain cancer)

3. Prevention of stroke

Along with TENOVUS Scotland we are supporting work at the University of Strathclyde into possible ways of reducing the likelihood of bleeds in the brain – known as hemorrhagic stroke.

“It is a well known fact that new medical treatments take a long time to be evaluated for use on patients and trials can be hugely expensive. For researchers to get major funding, they need to do preliminary work to convince reviewers and this is where we come in by providing early stage grants of around £10,000.”

Professor Dave WyperLead Clinical Trustee

Our vision is to have the researchers that we have supported go on to secure larger grants for further projects based on the early-stage projects which we have helped to fund.

Funded projects

In order to fund research projects we raise money from charitable trusts, fundraising, and individual donations.
