Action Medical Research for children

We are the leading UK-wide charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children and young people.

Action Medical Research has been funding medical breakthroughs for over 70 years.

We have helped to beat polio, fight meningitis, prevent stillbirths and develop ultrasound scanning in pregnancy, helping to save thousands of children’s lives and change many more.

Today we continue to tackle the challenges of disease and disability present by funding high quality research to save and change children’s lives, including research to help children affected by COVID-19 and long COVID.
