The incredible £1,000 donation from Ecclesiastical will make a real difference to the work we do. Sarcoidosis is a rare and often-misunderstood disease that does not receive sufficient attention from pharmaceutical companies or medical researchers, therefore research into sarcoidosis is limited. SarcoidosisUK are changing this - we work hard to raise sufficient money to fund at least one major sarcoidosis research project each year. We are going to keep going until we have found a cure for sarcoidosis, and help change the lives of those living with the disease along the way. As a result, all of the money from the £1000 donation will be committed to our 2021 research project. Thanks to our partnership with the British Lung Foundation, any funds that we commit to research are doubled, meaning that the donation will actually be worth £2000 and have an even bigger impact. We receive no government funding, so none of our research would be possible without donations such as this!
Through generous donations, SarcoidosisUK is able to provide support and quality information to the 70,000 people living with sarcoidosis in the UK. By funding research to find a cure and using the £1000 donation specifically towards that, our work could help improve the lives of people all over the world.
