Support Us

There are many ways you can support the TEAM Research campaign, from direct donations to gifts to our auction shop or perhaps by attending specific events.

If you work for a company, there may be sponsorship opportunities which could be considered. In this case, please contact the charity direct at the Contact Details.

Although TEAM Research directly funds research in wound healing, burns injury and other conditions relating to tissue or skin damage, much of its resources also benefit NPIMR’s other programmes. These include research into Cot Death, Intra-uterine Growth Retardation (IUGR) and cardiovascular conditions diseases (heart disease, stroke and organ preservation).

Our researchers have expertise at a cellular level so the lessons they learn in one condition (burns injury) can be of interest and highly relevant to a completely different condition. As a small Institute, our researchers share resources and provide valuable expert opinion which helps direct the next development stages. So, by directly funding new developments in heart disease, you may indirectly be funding research in stroke or even sickle cell disease. Your money goes a long way!

Running a dynamic institute is not cheap but the charity manages to support its facilities and its basic research programmes through grants and other sources. What NPIMR needs funds for is:

• to pump prime new projects, to build on its early successes and branch out into new and promising areas
• to take early promising techniques and materials for treating burns in children and getting these into the clinic as quickly as possible
• to strengthen and build on our partnership with the Bobby Moore Fund and Cancer Research UK, specifically to look at new treatments for the effects of bowel cancer which might greatly improve the quality of cancer survivors’ lives, as well as save lives
• to develop new ways to combat anal fistula, a socially difficult and thoroughly debilitating condition
• to capitalise and further improve on our successes developing new technologies to replace colostomy bags and make these types of treatment more conducive with a normal patterns of life, giving people back their dignity.
