Why Fundraising For Us?

There are over 20 million people of all ages in the UK living with a musculoskeletal condition and over 20,000 people are impacted by major trauma every year; that’s about one third of the population.

Your support would help raise vital funds to fund research into musculoskeletal conditions, transforming lives and giving people back their freedom and independence.
