Charities

1 in 2,000 men, women and children in the UK has a diagnosed bleeding disorder. While that number rises every year, many individuals still go undiagnosed due to a lack of awareness of different bleeding disorders. There are still misconceptions about bleeding disorders, so our role in this community is vital. From providing relevant knowledge and information to connecting people with local groups and communities, from advocating for higher standards of care and treatment, to campaigning for local issues, we are here to support and drive a more engaged and healthy bleeding disorders community in the UK. And today, more than 70 years since we first set out on our mission, we continue to make strides and help people living with bleeding disorders and their families so that all of us are stronger every day.
