Children's Liver Disease Foundation (CLDF)
Formed in 1980, Children’s Liver Disease Foundation is the only UK charity dedicated to fighting all childhood liver diseases. We provide tailored support services to all those affected by childhood liver disease, deliver comprehensive information to healthcare professionals, patients and their families and
provide them with one strong voice to effect change in the diagnosis and treatment of paediatric liver disease, giving them hope for the future. In addition we fund vital medical research through a number of grant calls throughout the year. CLDF have recently developed a research hub which aims to increase patient and public involvement through our network of research hub members. Members are parents, carers and young people affected by childhood liver conditions who have an interest in research design and supporting promotion of findings. For further information about our research programmes and the research hub visit www.childliverdisease.org/research

Crohns in Childhood Research Association (CICRA)
CICRA was founded in 1978 to fund research into Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis, working towards better treatments and training of specialists. We continue to support the development of paediatric gastroenterology in the UK. We are working hard to find out what causes Crohn’s, Ulcerative colitis and all forms of inflammatory bowel disease to help the thousands of children living with these conditions, including those with Very Early Onset IBD. We invite applications on an annual basis for our research grants, email applications@cicra.org for more information.
We lead research into better treatments, help children and families with information and support, work with health professionals to improve care and give children a voice to increase public understanding of Crohn’s and colitis. We believe that all children deserve a childhood unlimited by inflammatory bowel disease.

Guts UK’s vision is of a world where digestive disorders are better understood, better treated and everyone who lives with one gets the support they need. Our mission is to provide expert information, raise public awareness of digestive health and transform the landscape for research into our digestive system to help people affected by diseases of the gut, liver and pancreas.
