As a Haemochromatosis Champion you can help us by shaping and funding our future work. Champions will be people prepared to commit a larger donation, or open doors for us to overcome many of the barriers we face and to achieve much greater impact.

You can be actively involved in transforming our cause or fund us to make your ambitions happen. You can be a named Haemochromatosis UK Champion or support from anonymous position according to your preference. 

We need people who want to help us lead in a campaign to make iron overload a thing of the past, so people do not die nor develop serious illness because of genetic haemochromatosis.  

You share with us the knowledge that iron overload is preventable, that diagnosis is simple and inexpensive – and that treatment through blood donation is beneficial to wider society.  

While we help hundreds of people each year, others are needlessly suffering because our reach is limited by our current resources. We feel the urgency that the impact we have has to be greater.   

You can be the catalyst to change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people by for example.. 

• putting genetic haemochromatosis in the minds of every GP in the UK,  
• enabling diagnosis at a young age - meaning iron overload can virtually be eliminated,  
• funding research into the impact of the condition and  
• enabling our Iron Nurses to support thousands of families at their time of crisis 
• transforming venesection treatment across the UK 
• Getting GH prioritised on the agenda at the top of Government and in the NHS 

Do get in touch

If you would like to be a Haemchromatosis UK Champion and are considering support of £5,000 or more, please get in touch with us at [email protected] to arrange an appointment with our Chief Executive, Neil McClements about the change you would like to see – or to ask us about the most important work we want to do – but can’t, because funding just isn’t there to get started. Without your help, more people are condemned to life-affecting illness caused by iron overload.  

Become a Haemochromatosis UK Champion and make a lasting impact - help us, to help others.
