The Charity
The Pain Relief Foundation is a UK charity dedicated to funding research and
education into the relief of human chronic pain.
The Pain Relief Foundation was established
as a registered charity in 1979, in response to the urgent need for specialised
research into the many facets of chronic pain. Its purpose was the setting up
and running of a Pain Research Institute.
The Research Institute has no official funding from the N.H.S. or any other
government body and relies entirely on charitable contributions
and fund raising. Support to provide funds for the continuing
work of the Institute is vital and any help you can give is
much appreciated.
The Foundation also provides leaflets designed to help and
support patients, and specially prepared self-help audio tapes.
The audio tapes are based on treatment regimes established
in the Pain Management Programme at the Walton Centre and
proven to be very effective.
We also have a wonderful network volunteers
who help with our fundraising programme. Many of them are former pain patients.
With our help and support, these volunteers raise many thousands of pounds every
year through organising fundraising events such as coffee mornings, garden parties,
sponsored events and many other activities. This kind of help is vital and ensures
the continued funding and expansion of the work of the Institute. |
